President Trump and Senator Thom Tillis are at odds over the nomination of Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve, with Tillis threatening to block the appointment until a DOJ investigation into current Chair Jerome Powell is dropped.
Outlets across the spectrum report on Senator Tillis's refusal to confirm Fed nominees until the DOJ probe into Jerome Powell is resolved. Left-leaning sources like RawStory emphasize Tillis's sharp rhetoric calling the investigation a "bogus" revenge crusade, while Fox News frames the situation as a deepening "tiff" between the Senator and President Trump that threatens the new chair's confirmation.
