Gary Gensler To Testify Before Two Congress Panels

According to a scoop from Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett, the US SEC Chair had agreed to testify before the U.S. Senate Banking Committee GOP as well as the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services Republicans in two separate hearings scheduled in September 2023.
