Rich Gallena commented on the potential for increased congressional scrutiny on Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler and the agency's policies, in the event of a victory for the Republican party in the upcoming midterm elections. "In terms of what a Republican Congress could mean for regulatory enforcement, I think we're going to see increased scrutiny at the SEC and, in particular, of Chairperson Gary Gensler. Last week, House Republicans gave us a preview of what this could look like when they sent a letter to Gensler in an attempt to highlight inconsistencies within the SEC regarding the use of off-channel communications platforms such as WhatsApp," Gallena said.
