Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) was unrelenting on her demand that Pete Buttigieg reveal who his clients were when he worked for consulting giant McKinsey &#038; Company.\u00a0Beating the drum that people need &#8220;to know about possible conflicts of interest,&#8221; Warren persuaded her political rival to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/henrygomez\/pete-buttigieg-mckinsey-clients\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/henrygomez\/pete-buttigieg-mckinsey-clients&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1614794098486000&#038;usg=AFQjCNE_922fz3skqe58LEf_NaEoHfSGRA\" data-mt-detrack-inspected=\"true\" data-mt-detrack-attachment-inspected=\"true\">release<\/a>\u00a0his client list just as he moved to the top of the Iowa polls.<\/p>\n<p>Warren&#8217;s dedication to digging into former work at McKinsey appears, however, to have ended with the close of her political spat with Buttigieg. On Tuesday morning, neither Warren nor any of her colleagues on the Senate Banking Committee raised questions about Biden nominee Rohit Chopra&#8217;s past work for McKinsey as they evaluated his qualifications to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).<\/p>\n<div class=\"posts-content__category-widget md:hidden -ml-4 -mr-4 my-8 px-4 py-6 bg-gray-100\">\n<h4 class=\"mt-0 text-red-600 font-medium font-sans uppercase\">Recent Stories in Biden Administration<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p>Warren is far from a rival of Chopra, who worked with Warren to establish the CFPB and has been described as one of her &#8220;acolytes.&#8221; Before his work for the consumer protection agency, though, he was a consultant for McKinsey, where according to the <em>Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0he worked on financial issues, including student debt and consumer credit markets. His <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/rohit-chopra-fin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn page<\/a> says his work at McKinsey was on financial services and technology.\u00a0His financial disclosure forms make no mention of his McKinsey work or any of his clients.<\/p>\n<p>Warren did not respond to requests for comment on her lack of interest in Chopra&#8217;s McKinsey work. She praised Chopra during the Tuesday morning hearing, saying, &#8220;I have no doubt that you are the right person to lead the bureau at this moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During his first stint at the CFPB, Chopra was hired by Warren herself to work as its student loan ombudsman. In the years since, Warren has taken keen interest in advancing his political career. In 2015 she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/senatorelizabethwarren\/posts\/472070979622067\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">praised<\/a> Chopra, at the time still working at CFPB, as &#8220;smart as a whip, independent, hard-working, and loaded with integrity,&#8221; and recommended him to head New York&#8217;s powerful department of financial services.<\/p>\n<p>Chopra was not nominated for the position, instead moving on to a short stint in the Obama administration&#8217;s Department of Education.
