Senator Elizabeth Warren warned President-elect Donald Trump against choosing “Wall Street insiders” for top financial posts, likely previewing the confirmation battles to come in the Senate.

In a letter to the President-elect dated November 15, the Massachusetts Democrat specifically noted three members of the Trump transition team with ties to Wall Street and "demonstrated records of failure during the 2008 financial crisis" whom she would find unacceptable for top positions: David Malpass, Paul Atkins and Steve Mnuchin.
