Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, came out with a forceful blog post Wednesday on the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, saying the administration is hiding the details of the deal from the American people.

“The Administration says I’m wrong — that there’s nothing to worry about. They say the deal is nearly done, and they are making a lot of promises about how the deal will affect workers, the environment, and human rights. Promises — but people like you can’t see the actual deal,” Warren writes.

Warren’s blog post came after President Obama said in an interview with MSNBC that the Massachusetts senator is “wrong” for opposing TPP.

Asked about Democratic opposition to the trade deal, the White House Wednesday admitted that “this has been a difficult political issue for Democrats and political allies in the past,” but that doesn’t mean “we’re going to shy away from this conversation.”
