Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott says a hearing on Kevin Warsh’s nomination to lead the Federal Reserve is scheduled for next week. Sen. Thom Tillis says he will oppose the nomination unless the Justice Department ends its investigation of Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Scott said in a Tuesday interview that the hearing was scheduled for next week, though he gave no date. Warsh’s financial disclosure paperwork was filed late Monday and posted publicly Tuesday; he said he would recuse himself from matters involving companies tied to his wife and committed to divesting from financial holdings and leaving several roles within 90 days of confirmation.
Tillis has said for months that he will not support a Fed chair nominee unless the Justice Department ends its investigation of Powell. Tillis reiterated that position, while Scott predicted Tillis would ultimately vote yes. The article reports that U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro plans to appeal a judge’s decision quashing subpoenas to Powell, and that Powell intends to remain at the central bank until the investigation is over and a new chair is in place.
