Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., released another joint video Thursday in which they pressed Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin over his role in Sears' 2018 bankruptcy -- implying that he made money off of American workers' hardships. The video highlighted ties between Mnuchin and Eddie Lampert, Mnuchin's old college roommate and the subject of a lawsuit claiming he improperly stripped Sears of its assets. Lampert, the former CEO and Chairman of Sears, appointed Mnuchin, also named in the lawsuit, to Sears' board before driving "the company into the ground," Ocasio-Cortez claimed. In a letter sent on Thursday, Warren and Ocasio-Cortez gave Mnuchin until June 13 to provide answers to questions related to his work with Lampert. At the end of the video, Warren and Ocasio-Cortez portrayed themselves as fighters for the American people.
