Odaily Planet Daily News: U.S. House Republicans launched an investigation into Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler. Three Republican lawmakers questioned the SEC's recruitment process, accusing the agency of possibly recruiting based on political affiliations, suspected of violating federal law, and asked Gensler to provide all information about the SEC's assessment of applicants' political inclinations or political ideologies by 5 p.m. on September 24. The SEC has not yet commented on this. (Cointelegraph)
