Republican Sen. Pat Toomey criticized President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead a top financial regulator for ignoring an information request about the agency’s potentially illegal hiring practices.
Rohit Chopra, Biden’s nominee to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), has completely ignored a request for information regarding his involvement in the agency’s reported strategy forcing senior officials to vacate their positions, Toomey said. Chopra’s refusal to share information with the committee suggests he won’t be responsive to oversight if he is confirmed to the position, Toomey added.
“Mr. Chopra’s silence and total disregard of a congressional inquiry calls into question his fitness to serve,” Toomey said in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation on Thursday. “I fear Mr. Chopra’s refusal to give basic answers to Congress while his nomination is pending before the Senate leaves little doubt about how he will treat congressional oversight if he is confirmed.”
Last week, Toomey sent Chopra, currently a member of the Federal Trade Commission, a letter with a list of questions about whether he had been made aware of the CFPB’s alleged hiring practices. The Pennsylvania senator gave Chopra until Monday to respond, but hasn’t received a response as of Thursday evening.
