Senator Tillis announced he will block Kevin Warsh's confirmation until the ongoing DOJ probe is fully resolved.
President Trump has threatened to remove Fed Chair Jerome Powell if he does not resign, while pushing for Kevin Warsh as a successor to lower interest rates. The move faces legal challenges and opposition from Senator Thom Tillis.
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.
