Warren Questions Warsh Fed Chair Nomination, Urges GOP to Delay Until DOJ Probe Concludes

Sen. Elizabeth Warren raised concerns over Donald Trump's plan to nominate Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve chair on Jan. 30, BlockBeats reports. As the Senate Banking Committee's top Democrat, Warren questioned Warsh's independence from the White House at the confirmation's first stop. She urged Republicans to delay the nomination until the DOJ finishes its probe into Chair Jerome Powell and what she described as a "political witch hunt" against Powell and Governor Lisa Cook.
