"Republicans Grill Treasury Sec. Yellen Over Surveillance of Americans' Transactions"

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen faced tough questioning from Republicans over the Treasury Department's instructions to banks to search Americans' transaction records for potential extremism following January 6. The instructions included using search terms like 'MAGA' and 'Trump' and monitoring purchases at outdoor stores and of religious texts. Yellen promised to investigate the matter but deflected many questions, claiming she did not know much about the situation. Additionally, she was grilled over the unfreezing of $6 billion in funding to Iran, with Republicans expressing concerns about the potential misuse of the funds.
