Kevin Warsh, nominated by President Trump to lead the Federal Reserve, faces delays in his confirmation due to a criminal probe involving current Chair Jerome Powell. Despite opposition from Sen. Thom Tillis, who wants the investigation resolved first, a confirmation hearing is scheduled for next week. Warsh, a wealthy former Fed governor with a background in law and finance, is expected to receive broad Republican support. The nomination comes amid significant challenges for the Fed, including legal scrutiny and economic pressures.
