Elizabeth Warren’s long-simmering feud with billionaire investor Leon Cooperman may soon lead to a contentious Capitol Hill face-off.

The request follows years of tit for tats between the two, with Warren ripping Cooperman for opposing levies on the mega-rich and him accusing her of unfairly vilifying the wealthy.
