In the latest example of an apparent information purge by the Trump administration, bank employee complaints against Wells Fargo have vanished from the federal Department of Labor’s website. Steve Barr, a spokesman for the Labor Department, insisted to Bloomberg, however, that the page had been taken down before the inauguration and that he had no idea why. “I am concerned that the Department of Labor has removed the website where Wells Fargo’s employees who were victims of the company’s fraudulent actions could file labor complaints or report illegal activity,” Warren wrote to acting Labor Secretary Edward Hugler in a letter Thursday. Wells Fargo has apologized for the phony accounts and was slapped with a $185 million fine to settle customer fraud complaints. Executives have also said that Wells Fargo is ending sales incentives that have been blamed for the phony accounts.
