Tillis Says He’ll Block Fed Nominees Pending Powell Probe

Outlets report that Tillis is withholding support for Kevin Warsh’s Federal Reserve chair nomination until the Justice Department’s investigation of Jerome Powell ends. Left-leaning outlets center Tillis’s criticism of the probe, presenting it as ill-timed and unjustified. Center outlets largely track the confirmation process and uncertainty over Fed leadership, while also reporting Tillis’s opposition and the investigation. Right-leaning outlets emphasize a growing clash between Tillis and Trump, including Trump’s threat to fire Powell and the risk to Warsh’s confirmation.
