Senator Elizabeth Warren says inquiry into current Fed chair Jerome Powell stopped just for ‘Senate Republicans to install Trump’s sock puppet Kevin Warsh’
Elizabeth Warren, the top Democrat on the Senate banking committee responded to the news that the justice department is dropping its “bogus” investigation into Jerome Powell.
“This is just an attempt to clear the path for Senate Republicans to install President Trump’s sock puppet Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair,” Warren said in a statement.
The Massachusetts Democrat also noted that Jeanine Pirro threatened to restart the inquiry at any time, and has yet to drop the investigation into Lisa Cook, the Federal Reserve Governor whose attempted firing has made its way to the supreme court.
“Anyone who believes Donald Trump’s corrupt scheme to take over the Fed is over is fooling themselves. The Senate should not proceed with the nomination of Kevin Warsh,” Warren added.
