Senate GOP gets its own Silicon Valley Bank briefing after complaining about Treasury 'exclusion'
Fox News
Republicans claimed last night that some of their members were "excluded" from the Treasury Department's Silicon Valley Bank briefing on Sunday night.
A source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital earlier in the day that "Senate Banking Republicans weren’t invited last night until well after the briefing had started, which is why Treasury will be doing another briefing today at noon." Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
Officials held a bipartisan, bicameral video call on Sunday evening to update members of Congress after Silicon Valley Bank was shut down by regulators following a rush of investors withdrawing funds. It was a major first step toward explaining to lawmakers what happened in the largest U.S. bank failure since the 2008 financial crisis.
