Sean Duffy Confirms Congressional Hearings Will Be Held on Operation Choke Point

Breitbart:

Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) confirms that Congress will hold hearings on Operation Choke Point in February.

 

On Thursday Breitbart News cited sources reporting that Duffy, the new chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee, planned on holding such hearings in his subcommittee early next month.

 

“Operation Choke Point began as a means of combating fraudulent businesses — but evolved into an arbitrary list of businesses targeted by bureaucrats in the DOJ and banking regulators purely on moral grounds, backed by no legislation,” Fox News explained on Friday.

 

Rep. Duffy told the network that the administration is targeting businesses it doesn’t approve of. “What they’ve done is they put short-term lenders out of business, gun dealers out of business, ammunition manufacturers out of business. Because in America, if you can’t bank, you can’t do business,” he said.
