URGENT: Sen. Warren Demands Banking Panel Investigate Trump's Threats to Fed Independence

BREAKING NEWS: Sen. Warren Demands Investigation into Trump's Threats to Fed Independence Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is calling for the Senate Banking Panel to investigate President Trump's attacks on the Federal Reserve's independence. The demand comes as the panel prepares to grill Trump's nominee for a vacant Fed governor's seat. Warren has expressed concerns that Trump's nominee, Stephen Miran, would undermine the Fed's independence and allow presidential control over monetary policy decisions. Miran, who chairs the White House Council of Economic Advisers, has been critical of the Fed's independence in the past. The Senate Banking Committee is holding a confirmation hearing for Miran today, with Democrats expected to question him about his views on Fed independence. Warren has pledged to address these concerns directly during the hearing. This development marks the latest escalation in tensions between Trump and the Federal Reserve, which has been at odds with the administration over interest rate policy. The investigation demand is a significant move by Warren, who has long been a vocal critic of Trump's economic policies.
