PressView on tillis.senate.gov

WASHINGTON, D.C. –  Today, Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC), a member of the Senate Banking Committee, issued the following statement:
“If there were any remaining doubt whether advisers within the Trump Administration are actively pushing to end the independence of the Federal Reserve, there should now be none. It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question.
“I will oppose the confirmation of any nominee for the Fed—including the upcoming Fed Chair vacancy—until this legal matter is fully resolved.”
