Senator Elizabeth Warren on Mens Rea Reform

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) criticizes Republicans' threats to block criminal justice reform legislation unless mens rea language is included in the bill. She also voices her opposition to a bill that would restrict the Justice Department's ability to investigate certain banking practices and limit the Securities and Exchange Commission's oversight. Citing the concerns of the Black Lives Matter movement, she argues that large companies get away with criminal acts while individuals are prosecuted for more minor crimes. close
