US EditionSenator Warren Presses Fed Chair Nominee Warsh to Clarify Epstein ...
Sen. Warren demands detailed responses from Fed nominee Warsh on his ties to convicted sex offender Epstein amid ongoing Senate vetting and ethics concerns.
- On Thursday, Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to Warsh demanding answers after his name appeared in Epstein-related documents and requested responses by March 31 to eight questions.
- Emails released by the Department of Justice suggest Warsh and his wife, Jane Lauder, were invited to Epstein-organized events, including a 2010 St. Barthélemy gathering and a New York dinner, attendance unclear.
- Warren asked Warsh to confirm whether he traveled to St. Barthélemy in late 2010 or early 2011, was in Ghislaine Maxwell’s presence, and to provide communications with Epstein-related individuals.
- Missing paperwork and Tillis's pledge to block Warsh’s confirmation complicate the process, with the committee of 13 Republicans and 11 Democrats still awaiting key disclosures.
- Nearly two months after President Donald Trump announced Kevin Warsh’s nomination, no Senate confirmation hearing has been scheduled, raising risks of a delayed Fed leadership transition.
