Click here or on the image above to watch the full interview. Interview excerpts: “We are disappointed in the Justice Department for making this move when they did… I don’t understand why the Justice Department would not want him on record today in a hearing. I really do not understand why the Justice Department would not want that testimony.” “He stole money to fund a lavish lifestyle, to prop up his house of cards, and he used it to funnel quite a bit of donations to politicians here in Washington. This is not like taking a donation from a racist like Kanye West and saying I’m going to donate it to charity. This is stolen money that needs to be paid back. And if you’re a politician who took money, I think you should plan to work with the bankruptcy court. I think it’s important that politicians in Washington send a message that we don’t support this, and we are working to make people whole.” Congressman Gooden is a member of the House Financial Services Committee and was scheduled to question Sam Bankman-Fried during a committee hearing today. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-03-30T11:08:25Z |
