WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren said on Thursday the Federal Reserve should not allow Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N) to grow in size until the bank replaces Chief Executive Officer Tim Sloan. In a letter to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, Warren said Sloan, a 30-year veteran of Wells, was “deeply implicated” in prior bank misconduct and it was untenable for him to remain at the bank as the Fed sought a drastic overhaul of its operations. “The Wells Fargo Board of Directors cannot plausibly claim that it is ‘ensuring senior management’s ongoing effectiveness in managing the firm’s activities’ while retaining a CEO that helped oversee this much misconduct,” she wrote.

Sloan told analysts during a conference call on Friday that the bank continues to expect the asset cap to be lifted in the first half of next year. Wells Fargo has been coping with a series of scandals since 2016, when it was reported that employees had opened potentially millions of phony accounts in customers’ names without their permission. The bank has disclosed other problems since then, including enrolling hundreds of thousands of customers in costly products, such as auto insurance, that they did not need or want.

Since Sloan took over as CEO in 2016, analysts and investors have repeatedly questioned whether he was the right person to turn around the bank, Wells’s board has defended its pick, saying Sloan’s deep knowledge of the bank was an asset, Most recently, the bank’s chair, Betsy Duke, shot down rumors that the board was seeking to replace Sloan with former Goldman Sachs Group (GS.N) executive and Trump adviser Gary Cohn, big ben cufflinks “CEO Tim Sloan has the unanimous support of the board, and this support has never wavered,” she said in a statement at the time..
