Kevin Warsh Fed Chair Nomination Hearing Delayed, Committee Needs Paperwork

Kevin Warsh's nomination hearing for Federal Reserve chair has been delayed, originally scheduled for April 16. The Senate Banking Committee requires a week's notice before conducting the hearing and is awaiting Warsh's financial disclosure paperwork. His finances are complex due to his marriage to Jane Lauder, whose net worth is estimated at $1.9 billion. While the Trump administration is confident in Warsh's confirmation by May 15, the blockade by Sen. Thom Tillis complicates the process. The investigation into Chair Jerome Powell may also impact Warsh's nomination.
