Tom Emmer, a U.S. Congressman, has indeed made strong accusations against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). He claimed that the SEC broke the law, that its attorneys lied in court, and that no one in the SEC’s leadership has been held accountable1. These statements were part of his broader criticism of the SEC’s current leadership and regulatory practices.
Emmer has been vocal about his concerns regarding the SEC’s actions and has even introduced legislation aimed at restructuring the SEC and removing its current chair.
