'Mr. Sloan, why was the bank involved in the caging of children and financing the caging of children to begin with?' Ocasio-Cortez asked Tim Sloan.
Democratic New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asked Wells Fargo CEO Tim Sloan on Tuesday why his bank got involved with caging children during Congressional testimony.
“For a period of time, we were involved in financing one of the firms," said Sloan. "We aren’t anymore. I’m not familiar with the specific assertion that you’re making, but we weren’t directly involved in that.""These companies run private detention facilities run by ICE which is involved in caging children, but I'll move on," she concluded.
Ocasio-Cortez has proven adept in her questions during hearings. She was lauded for her focused questioning of Michael Cohen—President Donald Trump's former lawyer—during his testimony last month. When praised on Twitter for her questions, she chalked it up to her experience bartending in New York.
