Lummis Applauds Trump Administration for Bringing Transparency to FDIC

February 5, 2025
Washington, D.C.—Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) released the following statement in response to a Trump-led Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) releasing 790 pages of previously hidden documents relating to the FDIC’s conduct in Operation Chokepoint 2.0.
“The days of an administration that operates in the dark are over,”said Lummis.“I appreciate the Trump administration for ensuring the federal government is transparent and beholden to the American people it serves. I look forward to working with Acting Chairman Hill to restore the FDIC’s mission to serving American businesses, not shielding unelected bureaucrats.”
In January, Senator Lummissent a letterto FDIC Chair Marty Gruenberg after her office was contacted by whistleblowers alleging the FDIC was destroying materials with respect to the digital asset activities of the agency and threatening retaliation against staff for speaking out.
