Kevin Warsh Does Not Deny Investments Tied To Epstein Or Trump
Sen. Elizabeth Warren did a masterful job of questioning Donald Trump’s sycophantic nominee for Federal Reserve chair, Kevin Warsh, about $100 million in assets he has refused to disclose.
“It’s critical that the next chair have no financial conflicts, none,” Warren said. Then she pushed for information on his hidden assets: “You have more than $100 million in investments that you have refused to disclose to ethics officials and to the public. So, let me ask, do the Juggernaut fund or the THSDFS LLC invest in any companies affiliated with President Trump or his family, companies that have facilitated money laundering, Chinese-controlled companies, or financing vehicles established by Jeffrey Epstein?”
Warsh, who appears in the Epstein files, repeatedly dodged, weaved, and deflected. First, he tried to filibuster by arguing that the Fed’s credibility is important. Not important enough to say if he has financial ties to Trump or Epstein, though.
Warren wasn’t buying it. She interrupted, “Could you answer my question, please? … It’s a yes or no question.”
Warsh tried to wriggle free again. “Senator, I have worked tirelessly with the ethics officials at the Office of Government Ethics,” he replied.
“Yes, and you have not revealed $100 million in assets,” Warren shot back.
