Tim Scott Schedules Kevin Warsh Fed Confirmation Hearing

Tim Scott said the Senate Banking Committee will hold a confirmation hearing next week on Kevin Warsh’s nomination to lead the Federal Reserve. Center outlets present the hearing as a step in Warsh’s nomination, noting Senator Thom Tillis’s opposition and attention to Warsh’s financial disclosures. Right-leaning outlets also report the hearing but place it amid the dispute over the Justice Department’s investigation of Jerome Powell and pressure for lower interest rates.
