Unfortunately, the CEOs of each of these three major credit bureaus have refused to attend this hearing.

I am concerned that this authority will be rendered virtually meaningless if FIO's ability to collect data from the insurance industry is undermined.

For those members on the opposite side of the aisle, we are trying to change history about AIG and trying to imply that somehow you want the Federal Government to take over all State insurance.

I would like to submit to the record--need unanimous consent--to submit the National Housing Law Project's opposition to the funding in HUD.

It is difficult for me to believe you care about them with these kind of cuts.

He has openly mocked disabled people, and HUD's most recent budget proposal, which you supported and defended, proposes a steep 18 percent cut for Section 811 program.

You are cutting public housing by $2 billion, Housing Choice vouchers by $800 million, project-based rental assistance by $65 million.

These properties that are owned in part by the President or Mr. Kushner are also reportedly in very bad condition.

I have serious concerns about the potential conflicts of interest with regard to HUD funds that are contributing to the profits of multifamily developments owned in part by the President and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

I have data that shows that seniors would have to pay an additional $83 a month, on average, in rent under your rent reform proposal.

This morning, Trump threatened to abandon Puerto Rico recovery efforts.

I am submitting for your consideration a letter signed by all of the Democrats of the Financial Services Committee notifying you of our intent to hold a Democratic hearing, also known as a minority hearing, on the Equifax data breach.

The SEC has been underfunded, seriously underfunded. And many of us have fought very hard to try and give you, our cop on the block, the resources that you need to do the work that you have to do to protect our investors, et cetera.

These incidents are deeply disturbing as they indicate critical vulnerabilities in our financial system.

Mr. Chairman, 2 weeks ago, you announced that, in August 2017, you learned that a 2016 breach of the SEC's electronic system for public company filings, quote, 'May have provided the basis for illicit gains through trading,' end quote.

However, as the recent events in Charlottesville, which took the life of Heather Heyer and two VA State troopers, have reminded us, extremists radicalized by foreign terrorist groups are not the only terrorists with the capacity and the…

If it was widely reported in the press that a close adviser of the President was being investigated for money laundering using anonymous shell companies and bank accounts located in Cyprus, would your department proactively seek to obtain…

Given that you were finance chair of the Trump campaign, which is accused of soliciting illegal, in-kind contributions from a foreign country, have you recused yourself from any work related to Russia or other foreign countries?

If FinCEN received reports of suspicious activity involving potential violations of money laundering or sanctions involving President Trump, his immediate family and associates, would FinCEN immediately share it with the Justice…

If a bank identifies suspicious activity related to potential money laundering or sanctions violations by The Trump Organization involving Russian persons, would such a bank have a legal obligation to report it to FinCEN?

Thank you for your compliments about how great I am, but I don't want to waste my time on me.

Do you understand that this committee not only has jurisdiction, but a responsibility to oversee the activities of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network?
