Senate panel to use JPMorgan losses in bid to tighten Volcker rule
A Senate panel probing the multibillion-dollar trading loss by JPMorgan Chase plans to unveil its findings at a hearing to press regulators to tighten the Volcker rule, according to three people briefed on the matter.
Staff members of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, headed by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., have interviewed JPMorgan officials as well as examiners and supervisors at the institution’s regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the inquiry isn’t public.
