Warren Statement on Banking Committee Vote on Trump Fed Chair Nominee

Washington, DC - United States Senator Elizabeth Warren, Ranking Member of the Senate, Banking, and Housing Urban Affairs Committee, released the following statement on the Republican majority scheduling a Committee vote on Kevin Warsh for Wednesday, April 29:

"Either the Republican majority is fooled easily or they are hoping to fool the American people. The Department of Justice threatened to restart the investigation into Fed Chair Powell at any time while continuing its probe against Governor Lisa Cook. Just today, Trump's spokeswoman said the investigation "still continues." No Republican claiming to care about Fed independence should support moving forward the nomination of Kevin Warsh, who proved in his nomination hearing to be nothing more than President Trump's sock puppet."
