Fed’s Warsh hearing could come as soon as April 13 week: Punchbowl

The Senate Banking Committee hearing for the Fed chair nominee is expected around mid-April. Senator Elizabeth Warren has pushed back against the proposed Fed appointment. 

The Senate Banking Committee is reportedly planning to hold its hearing on the nomination of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve chair as soon as the week of April 13, according to a report from Punchbowl News citing two sources familiar with the matter.
