In response to reports that U.S. House Financial Services Committee Chairman Maxine Waters was unwilling to compel FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried to testify before a House Committee,  tweeted that a subpoena of Bankman-Fried was “definitely on the table.” Waters made the statement in response to the allegations surfacing online.

Although, the House Committee has scheduled a hearing into the matter for Tuesday, Waters took a dig at a leading news media by stating that, lies were being spread about her not calling SBF. She further stated that “a subpoena is definitely on the table. Stay tuned.”

Earlier, Waters had stated that it was essential for the founder of FTX to provide testimony and that the committee was prepared to arrange continued hearings if there is more material to be provided later.
