Sen. Elizabeth Warren asks the U.S. Department of Justice to open a criminal probe into Bank of America’s alleged violations of anti-money laundering laws. Her request follows the bank’s admission of such violations and comes after Treasury imposed substantial penalties.

Across the outlets, the central point is that Warren argues civil enforcement outcomes do not go far enough. The reporting links her letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche and highlights the size of the Treasury Department’s penalty, described as roughly $1.2 billion or $1.21 billion depending on the outlet’s figure. Two outlets also emphasize a deadline for DOJ to respond.

Quartz and CNBC both note that Warren seeks a DOJ disclosure by Nov. 12 about whether a criminal investigation has been launched. The Hill likewise frames the call as a push for criminal action, characterizing the prior fine as inadequate. Overall, the coverage aligns on Warren’s core demand, the anti-money-laundering focus, and the existence of a large Treasury penalty.
