Billionaire Leon Cooperman rejects Elizabeth Warren's invitation to testify on a possible wealth tax
Sen. Elizabeth Warren's invitation to testify at a Senate Finance subcommittee has been rejected by one of her outspoken critics, billionaire Leon Cooperman.
On Monday, Warren invited Cooperman to testify at her hearing, called "Creating Opportunity Through a Fairer Tax System."
"This hearing is an opportunity to share your views on how to strengthen the nation's tax system to address economic inequality, raise revenues to fund critical pro-growth investments in families and communities, and bolster our long-term fiscal and economic outlooks," Warren wrote in her invitation to Cooperman, which was viewed by Insider.
She gave him until Thursday, April 22 to respond; it seems as though he got back to her early, according to CNBC, which first reported on the invitation and Cooperman's response.
Cooperman has turned down the invitation. In a response viewed by Insider, he wrote: "I find Senator Warren's invitation self-serving and disingenuous."
