    Maxine Waters Calls For Urgent Resolution of FTX Case and Sam Bankman-Fried’s Testimony

    Ranking Member Maxine Waters on February 10 sent a letter to Patrick McHenry, Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services, to call on Sam Bankman-Fried to testify before the committee. She also urges continuing the bipartisan effort to get to the bottom of FTX collapse.

    Earlier on Friday, Patrick McHenry sent a letter to SEC Chair Gary Gensler seeking all records on the coordinated investigation with the U.S. DOJ on FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, and other executives. McHenry gave Gensler two weeks to submit all records.
