Kevin Warsh Faces Tense Confirmation Hearing

Kevin Warsh Faces Tense Confirmation Hearing

During a high-stakes hearing, Kevin Warsh denied making any private deals with President Trump to lower interest rates in exchange for his nomination.

Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized the nominee, labeling him a potential 'sock puppet' for the administration and questioning his $100 million in undisclosed investments.

Warsh called for a 'regime change' in Fed policy to better address persistent inflation and improve communication.

The confirmation remains in limbo as some Republican senators demand the Justice Department end its probe into current chair Jerome Powell first.
