A Senate Republican is once again stepping into President Donald Trump’s path, this time vowing to block any attempt to install a new Federal Reserve chair if Jerome Powell is pushed out.
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said he will oppose any future nominee to lead the central bank after reports surfaced that Powell is under criminal investigation over testimony tied to renovations at the Federal Reserve.
“If there were any remaining doubt whether advisors within the Trump Administration are actively pushing to end the independence of the Federal Reserve, there should now be none,” Tillis said on X. “It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question.”
“I will oppose the confirmation of any nominee for the Fed — including the upcoming Fed Chair vacancy — until this legal matter is fully resolved,” he added.
