At a Senate Banking Committee hearing, Elizabeth Warren questioned Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh about Vice Chair Michelle Bowman’s attendance at a Bank of America dinner and Warsh’s personal investments. Warsh also discussed planned changes to bank oversight and his policy review task forces.
Warren pressed Warsh for details about Bowman’s attendance at a private Bank of America dinner during the Federal Open Market Committee’s blackout period. Warsh said he did not know what was discussed, did not want to interfere with a potential inspector general review, and declined to say whether he had discussed the matter with Bowman. Bowman said she did not discuss monetary policy and had complied with applicable rules. Warren also questioned how Warsh disposed of personal holdings worth roughly $100 million; Warsh said he followed an agreement with the Office of Government Ethics, and Mike Rounds invited him to explain the divestment.
