House Republicans are investigating SEC Chair Gary Gensler over allegations of politically biased hiring practices. The probe aims to determine whether the SEC violated federal law by considering political affiliations in its hiring of senior employees, potentially compromising the agency's impartiality. A letter dated September 10 from top Republican lawmakers, including Jim Jordan, Patrick McHenry, and James Comer, has initiated this investigation. The allegations suggest that the SEC's hiring decisions may have been influenced by political favoritism, raising concerns about the agency's neutrality and effectiveness.
