Sen. Elizabeth Warren warned that people who have made their profits by cheating American families and scamming their investors should prepare for investigations, according to a CBS News video report.

CBS News reported that the remarks came as Democrats take control of both legislating and oversight in Congress. The summary describes that arrangement as one in which the same party holds both the power to write laws and the power to examine how they are carried out.

When asked to elaborate on whether she had anyone in particular in mind, Warren answered "anyone who's been cheating," CBS News reported.

CBS News's summary does not name any individual, company, committee, or case that Warren referred to. It also does not describe what form the investigations would take or whether any has already begun.

Because this account rests on the headline and summary published with the video, the full wording of Warren's remarks has not been checked against a transcript, and nothing beyond the summary is reported here. CBS News's summary includes no response from anyone else.

The report is a video, and the summary is the only text available for this account. The summary also offers no detail on when or where Warren spoke, CBS News reported, so the setting of the remarks is not established by the material available.
