Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., will unveil legislation that would make it easier to criminally charge and lock up executives for a company's wrongdoing.
The bill, called the Corporate Executive Accountability Act, continues the presidential candidate's push to hold leaders more accountable for a firm's alleged abuses. Warren will also reintroduce a plan that would ramp up scrutiny of big bank executives.
Warren's bill would widen criminal liability to include "negligent executives" of corporations with more than $1 billion in annual revenue that have reached certain terms related to alleged wrongdoing.
The legislation has little shot of getting through the GOP-held Senate and could face resistance in the business world. But it comes as Warren has emerged as one of the leading policy voices in a crowded 2020 Democratic presidential primary field that has put an emphasis on populism and working class issues.
Is there any thing positive to this Negative and Militant candidate?
