Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has proposed a "wealth tax" on some of the richest Americans.
The new tax from Warren, who recently announced her bid to challenge President Donald Trump in 2020, would only apply to Americans with more than $50 million in assets.
Her Twitter announcement on Thursday came hours after an economist who advises her told CNBC he believed the proposal would soon be made official.

The Washington Post first reported the development.
"We helped her with the numbers," economist Emmanuel Saez told CNBC. He said his understanding was that the Warren team had already spoken with the Post at the time he told them the details of the report.
