Starting at 456 vs an average of 765 over ten years, numbers don't lie.

Warren writes to the SEC Chair, accusing him of lying to Congress about enforcement actions, which could be false statements or criminal conduct. Data from 2025 shows that the SEC added 456 enforcement actions last year, of which 256 came from the current administration and 200 from the previous administration, significantly below the ten-year average of 765. Warren states that staffing shortages and leadership turmoil may weaken investor protection and questions political favoritism; the SEC declined to comment.
