US Senate body to hold hearings on Wall St. reform May 14th 2012, 18:54 WASHINGTON | Mon May 14, 2012 2:54pm EDT WASHINGTON May 14 (Reuters) - The Senate Banking Committee plans to hold hearings in the coming weeks on Wall Street reform, during which members will likely press U.S. regulators about the trading losses announced last week by JPMorgan Chase & Co. Committee Chairman Tim Johnson announced the hearing plans in a statement on Monday but did not provide specific dates or topics for the hearings. Last week Republican Senator Bob Corker called for the committee to hold a hearing on JPMorgan's recent announcement that it has suffered at least $2 billion in trading losses.
