Senator Tillis No Longer Looking to Block Warsh Fed Chair Confirmation.
Tillis said he would no longer block Warsh’s confirmation after the Justice Department investigation into Powell closed.

SOURCE CHECK
TAP FOR WHYCointelegraph is an established specialist publication, though its trade-press focus and limited information here about corrections and editorial practices warrant a moderate score. The article has an attributed byline and quotes Tillis directly.
- Source type — Established specialist trade publication; narrower scope than a general news organization.
- Author attribution — The article has a named author.
- Editorial standards — The publication states that the article follows its editorial policy, but the text offers limited evidence about standards in practice.
- Track record — A recognizable publication in cryptocurrency coverage, but this article provides little basis to assess its broader reporting record.
The article attributes Tillis’s announcement to his post and provides procedural context about the committee and Senate votes. It offers some context on the Fed and Warsh, but relies heavily on Tillis’s account and includes little independent sourcing or response from other perspectives.
HOW WE SCORE ↗The piece gives Tillis’s rationale and some context about Warsh, but does not include an opposing perspective on Tillis’s decision or the nomination.
- Counterarguments presented — No critic of Tillis’s decision or the nomination is quoted.
- Source diversity — The central account rests largely on Tillis’s statements, with limited additional context.
- Loaded language — The article uses largely neutral language.
The article reports Tillis’s decision in straightforward language and attributes his explanation. Its brief discussion of Warsh’s possible impact on crypto includes differing possibilities without endorsing one.
- Language tone — Mostly neutral, descriptive wording.
- Source selection — Tillis’s own statements are central; the article does not present a partisan argument.
- Framing — Frames the decision as following the probe’s closure and notes uncertainty about Warsh’s future policy.
Thom Tillis said he will stop blocking Kevin Warsh’s confirmation as Federal Reserve chair after being told the Justice Department’s investigation into Jerome Powell had closed. The Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to vote on Warsh’s nomination, while a full Senate vote has no set date.
Tillis said he had been assured that the Justice Department’s investigation into Powell and the Federal Reserve headquarters renovation had closed. He said the probe had threatened the Fed’s independence and needed to end before he could support Warsh’s confirmation. He also welcomed a separate inspector general investigation.

Part of a bigger story
18 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Tillis said he would let Kevin Warsh’s nomination for Federal Reserve chair move forward after the Justice Department ended its investigation of Jerome Powell. Center outlets mainly treat Tillis’s move as a response to the inquiry’s end and explain how it advances Warsh’s confirmation. Right-leaning outlets also describe the move as clearing a path for Warsh, with some casting Tillis’s shift as delayed or a retreat.
