	Josh Hawley on Corporations

I would start by breaking up the big tech corporations

We're facing a fight for the republic itself. We are facing an unprecedented alliance of radical liberals, and the biggest, most powerful corporations in the history of the world. Google, Facebook, Twitter. These companies have more power than any companies in American history, and they're aligned with the radical left to try to impose their agenda on this country. They want to run this country, and if we don't do something, they are going to. We've got a word for that. It's called oligarchy.

No more rule by oligarchs. Rule by the people, that's what we've got to do. I would start by breaking up the big tech corporations. Just break them up. Break them up in the name of the rule of the people. For the good of the American people and our liberty, we need to break those corporations up and cut them down to size. You know what? The Republican Party, once upon a time, we were the party of trustbusters. I mean, we invented the concept, basically. It's time to reclaim that legacy.

Went after big mortgage companies for improper loans

AG Josh Hawley, along with AG's from 48 states reached a $45MM settlement with mortgage lender and servicer PHH Mortgage Corporation. The settlement resolves allegations that PHH improperly serviced mortgage loans from 2009 through 2012. "Home ownership is at the center of the American dream, and my Office will take action against companies whose illegal business practices would frustrate that dream," Hawley said. "This settlement holds PHH to account for its improper loan servicing practices." Source: AG press release on 2018 Missouri Senate race , Jan 4, 2018
