Ahead of Committee Vote, Gallego, Banking Democrats Press Fed Nominee Kevin Warsh on His Evasive Responses and Failure to Answer Committee Members’ ‘Questions for the Record’

WASHINGTON – Today, Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) , along with Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Jack Reed (D-RI), Mark Warner (D-VA), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Andy Kim (D-NJ), and Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE), sent a letter to Kevin Warsh, President Trump’s nominee for Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair, regarding his failure to adequately respond to their questions for the record. The senators are requesting complete answers from Mr. Warsh ahead of the Banking Committee markup on his nomination on Wednesday, April 29th. “You did not provide clear or complete responses to many of our questions, which are critical to helping us assess how you would lead the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (Fed or Federal Reserve) if confirmed,” wrote the Banking Committee senators. “Given President Trump’s repeated and continued attacks on the independence of the Fed, your ability to meaningfully answer direct questions from Congress is more important than ever, making your inadequate responses even more concerning.” The Senators re-sent their questions for the record to Mr. Warsh and requested complete answers by no later than 9:30am on Wednesday, April 29, 2026.
