WASHINGTON — Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, has set a date for a hearing that specifically examines the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s workplace culture on June 12.
McHenry, in the letter, demanded that Gruenberg testify at the second of two panels on June 12, to understand how Gruenberg "will address the FDIC's workplace culture as chairman."
"Your appearance is critical so that Congress can ensure its banking agencies are acting to maintain stability and public confidence in the nation's financial system," McHenry said.
Some members of the Senate, where the GOP majority is thinner, also are asking the Federal Housing Finance Agency to reveal more about planned mortgage reforms.
The housing regulator has been mum on details about its reshuffling, but Secretary Scott Turner has emphasized mission-critical functions would persist.
Regulators should approve the deal because post-merger, the servicing market remains fragmented and the mortgage origination business is even more dispersed.
A three-judge panel will hear an appeal by the Trump administration of a preliminary injunction that has blocked the government from dissolving the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
