Federal Reserve chair nominee Kevin Warsh vowed independence during a contentious Senate confirmation hearing, while Democrats and GOP Senator Thom Tillis blocked his path over President Trump's ongoing investigations into current Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Outlets across the spectrum agree that Senator Tillis is the primary obstacle to Kevin Warsh’s confirmation, demanding an end to the DOJ investigation into Jerome Powell.
