ME News: On April 4 (UTC+8), a source told CNBC that the U.S. Senate Banking Committee will hold a hearing on April 16 to review Kevin·Wausch’s nomination to serve as Federal Reserve chair. Another criminal investigation involving the Federal Reserve is still ongoing, and investigators are examining whether current chair Powell made false statements to Congress regarding the costly renovation of the Federal Reserve’s office building. Meanwhile, Wausch’s nomination process is still moving forward, which could put the two parallel tracks driven by the Trump administration on a collision course. Banking Committee member Thom Tillis has already said he will not vote to confirm Wausch before the investigation concludes, meaning the Trump administration cannot advance both processes at the same time. But by continuing to move the hearing forward, Trump is clearly still trying to achieve that goal. The Senate Banking Committee has not yet placed the hearing on a public schedule. (Source: Jin Ten)
