On Tuesday, June 28, 2016, at 10 a.m. (ET), Senator Grassley will preside over a Judiciary Committee hearing on “One Year After Enactment: Implementation of the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015.” Grassley cosponsored the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 and shepherded it through the Judiciary Committee and the Senate.

On Wednesday, June 29, 2016, at 10 a.m. (ET), Senator Grassley will preside over a Judiciary Committee hearing on “Protecting Older Americans from Financial Exploitation.” Financial crimes against America’s elders strip them of $2.9 billion per year, making financial exploitation the most widespread form of elder abuse.
