The Committee expects to hear from the companies and individuals involved, including Sam Bankman-Fried, Alameda Research, Binance, FTX, and related entities, among others.\n\n\u201cThe \u201ceffective altruism\u201d that Democrat mega donor Sam Bankman-Fried peddled is perfectly in line with the radical left\u2019s efforts to redefine a corporate purpose. It\u2019s time for corporations and CEOs to stop putting politics ahead of the people, shareholders, and retail investors for whom they are supposed to deliver maximum financial returns. The House Financial Services Committee will work to expose any impropriety that led to this historic collapse and hold regulators accountable for being asleep at the switch, obsessing about \u201cclimate risk\u201d instead of actually protecting investors vulnerable to crypto exchanges with limited transparency and poor risk management.\u201d\n\nCongressman Barr is the lead Republican on the House Financial Services Subcommittee on National Security, International Development, and Monetary Policy.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T03:24:37Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://barr.house.gov/press-releases?ID=14D36338-0A11-492C-9363-586378AC918C"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.9746480975300074, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
