ME News message: On April 4 (UTC+8), an insider told CNBC that the U.S. Senate Banking Committee will hold a hearing on April 16 to review Kevin Wosh’s nomination to serve as Chair of the Federal Reserve. Another separate criminal investigation into the Federal Reserve is still ongoing, examining whether the current chair, Powell, made false statements to Congress regarding the expensive renovation of the Federal Reserve’s office building. Meanwhile, Wosh’s nomination process is still moving forward, which could put the two parallel tracks pursued by the Trump administration at odds with each other. Banking Committee member Thom Tillis has already said he will not vote to confirm Wosh before the investigation is completed. This means Trump cannot advance both processes at the same time, but by continuing to move the hearing forward, Trump is evidently still trying to achieve that goal. The Senate Banking Committee has not yet placed the hearing on the public agenda. (Source: Jinshi)
