Kevin Warsh Faces Senate Grilling

Kevin Warsh Faces Senate Grilling

Kevin Warsh, President Trump's pick to lead the Federal Reserve, underwent a contentious confirmation hearing where he called for 'regime change' at the central bank.

During the testimony, Warsh denied being a 'sock puppet' for the president and insisted he would not commit to specific interest rate cuts.

Senator Elizabeth Warren pressed the nominee on his $100 million in undisclosed investments and his refusal to state whether Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

The hearing highlights the deep partisan divide over the future of U.S. monetary policy and the institutional autonomy of the Fed.
