Source: The US SEC Commission led by Republicans strengthens the supervision of the agency's investigation

Panews News on February 4th. According to Reuters, the two familiar people revealed that the lawyer of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was informed that before the official launch of the investigation, they needed to obtain the approval of the leadership of the political appointment. Significant changes in this procedure may delay the progress of the investigation.

This change was implemented under the new SEC leadership after President Trump took office. Generally, five members including the chairman are responsible for supervising the independent organization. At present, there are three members of the committee -two Republican and one Democrat. The members are appointed by the president.

In recent days, some law enforcement staff have been informed that they need to obtain the approval of the committee to issue all formal investigation orders. These investigations are issued to obtain testimony to obtain testimony or documents. Previously, such power had been placed to lower -level staff. The committee has the right to refuse -but does not always exercise this right. Reuters cannot determine whether the committee has voted to formally revoke the decentralization of the power, or who ordered this change.
