| http://franken.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=2995 | Sen. Frankens Statement on Opposition to Treasury Department Nominee Antonio Weiss | 2014-12-10 | 2014 | 2014-12 | Democrat | House | MN | Al Franken | F000457 | franken.senate.gov | legacy | Today, U.S. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) issued the following statement on his opposition to Antonio Weiss, the Treasury Department's nominee to be Under Secretary for Domestic Finance: "This position requires someone who understands how to make our economy work for the middle class and those aspiring to be in the middle class," said Sen. Franken. "As such, I will not be supporting Mr. Weiss' nomination. I am troubled by his history working on international corporate mergers for a Bermuda-based investment firm, and his work on so-called inversion deals that allow corporations to change their address and avoid their US tax responsibilities. Wall Street's perspective is already well-represented in the Administration." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
