Fed Chair Nominee Kevin Warsh Accused of Being Donald Trump’s ‘Sock Puppet’
Kevin Warsh, Donald Trump’s nominee for Federal Reserve chair, faced intense questioning at a Senate Banking Committee hearing, with Democratic senators like Elizabeth Warren accusing him of being a potential 'sock puppet' for Trump amid the former president’s demands for interest rate cuts. Warsh denied precommitting to rate decisions, refused to explicitly confirm Trump lost the 2020 election, faced scrutiny over his $100 million-plus assets (some under confidentiality agreements), and Republican Senator Thom Tillis vowed to stall his confirmation until a criminal probe into current Fed Chair Jerome Powell is dropped.
