Summary
What some see as a victory for "free speech," the Securities and Exchange Commission has dropped a controversial “gag rule” that barred defendants who settled SEC cases from publicly defending themselves. Thomas Powell, senior strategist at the Founders Office, has been one of the rules' most vocal critics—even while legally restricted from challenging the allegations against him.Finally able to speak out, Powell and his attorney, Peggy Little of the New Civil Liberties Alliance, join FOX Business Network’s Lydia Hu. They break down how Powell was "muzzled" by the SEC, the damage it did to his life, and what this massive rule change means for American businesses moving forward. Learn more about your ad choices.
