Kevin Warsh faced a Senate hearing for his nomination as Fed Chair, pledging independence from President Trump despite the president's demands for rate cuts and ongoing Justice Department investigations into current Fed leadership.
Outlets across the spectrum highlight Senator Warren’s aggressive questioning of Kevin Warsh, specifically her characterization of the nominee as a potential "sock puppet" for the White House.
