Last week President Joe Biden’s nominee to become the Comptroller of the Currency at the Treasury Department, which oversees the banking industry, faced a grilling by Democrat and Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
During her confirmation hearing, Saule Omarova was pressed on everything from her statements about wanting to bankrupt the oil and gas industry to her ideas about eliminating private bank accounts. She was also asked about why her college thesis, “Karl Marx’s Economic Analysis and the Theory of Revolution in The Capital,” hasn’t been submitted for review by Senators voting on her nomination despite it being touted on her resume for years.
