ms. warren: that's not my question. it's about responsibility. were you -- have you returned one nickel of the money you earned while this scam was going on? >> and the board do -- senator warren: i will take that as a no. have you fired a single senior executive? by that, i don't mean a regional or branch manager. i'm talking about people who led your community vision division or your compliance division. >> we've made a change to lead ur regional banks. senator warren: i'm asking have you fired senior managers, who oversaw this fraud or the compliance division that was in charge of making sure the bank complied with the law? did you fire any of those people? no. you haven't resigned, you haven't returned a single nickel of your personal earnings you haven't fired a single senior executive. instead, evidently, your definition of accountable is to push the blame to low level employees who don't have the money for a fancy p.r. farm to -- firm to defend themselves. it's a gutless leadership. in your time as chairman and c.e.o., wells has been famous

ms. warren: mr. president, the rains who control the senate are setting new records for obstruction by slowing the pace of judicial nominations to a crawl and leaving courts across this nation overburdened and understaffed. i've listened as senator mcconnell has asserted that he is acting fairly on judges because more total obama judges have been confirmed than total george w. bush judges. here's my question. what kind of a game does he think this is? at this point in time during the bush administration, there were 42 judicial vacancies. today there are 90. at this point during the bush administration, there were 13 judicial emergencies, vacancies in courts that are severely shorthanded and overburdened with cases. today there are 32, more than twice as many vacancies, more than twice as many emergencies, and senator mcconnell says, well, he just doesn't want to do his job and neither do other republicans. we all know why. republican leaders in congress have made it abundantly clear that they want do

ms. warren: i ask that the quorum call be lifted. the presiding officer: without objection. ms. warren: the republicans are threatening to shut down the government now. in less than 100 hours the united states government runs out of money. why? what is so important that republicans are willing to destroy thousands of jobs and cost our economy billions of dollars, the way they did back in 2013? well the answer is money -- not tax money not government spending. nope, this is all about secret money for political campaigns. republicans who control congress are refusing to fund the government unless everyone agrees to let giant publicly traded companies that spend millions of dollars trying to influence our elections keep all that money hidden. in just six years the world has turned upside down. since 2010, when the supreme court said in citizens united that american corporations are people, those corporations have been allowed to spend as much corporate money as they want to get their friends elected and boy, have they spent money -- more than half a billion dollars from 2010 to 2015

ms. warren: are we in a quorum call? i'm here to talk about the tax transparency act, a proposal that would require every candidate of a major part to release their tax yearns. hillary clinton has already done it. in fact, every single general election candidate in the past nine elections has done it. so i'll be honest, this is not the kind of legislation i thought congress would ever need to pass. but, like a lot of people, i never thought that someone like donald trump would be the nominee of a major political party. now, donald trump makes a big show of strutting around pretending to be tough, but he's too chicken to show his tax returns to the american people. he's had a million excuses, but we all know why donald trump isn't releasing his taxes. he's hiding something. for a long time i wasn't sure what he was hiding, but thanks to the tireless work of journalists and experts we at least have some clues about what he's hiding. we don't have everything but some of his secrets are starting to leak to the public and the

ms. warren: massachusetts is home to the nation's best scientists and innovative biomedical companies. i believe we have a moral imperative to save money and save lives by expanding medical innovation in the united states. i've been here for almost four years, and i have spent nearly the entire time working both publicly and privately to try to fix our broken medical innovation system in this country. and i'll be blunt. it has been maddening. maddening because we know, we know what we need to do to fix this problem. we know, we know that medical cures come from taxpayer investments in basic research followed by private industry making its investments to turn that research into viable treatments. nobody in congress seriously disputes this. every single person i have talked to here says they support increasing funding for the national institutes of health and yet for over a decade, congress has decimated the n.i.h.'s budget. it has effectively been cut by nearly 25% and those cuts are single-handedly choking off support for the projects that could lead to the next major breakthrough agai
