Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina and a member of the committee, has said he will place a hold on the nomination until the White House completes its examination into the current Fed chair. The Department of Justice has dropped its investigation into Jerome Powell, clearing the way for Warsh\u2019s nomination, after which President Trump claimed the Fed building renovations would cost $4 billion, though the project\u2019s cost had been reported at about $2.5 billion and Trump suggested powell might profit from it.

After the proclamation, Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized the DOJ\u2019s decision as not adequately protecting Fed independence, accusing Republicans of either being easily fooled or trying to mislead the public, while noting an ongoing probe into Governor Lisa Cook. A separate piece on Warsh\u2019s confirmation hearing highlights Warren\u2019s remark that Trump\u2019s spokeswoman said the investigation \u201cstill continues,\u201d and she argued that no Republican who truly cares about Fed independence should back warsh, whom she described as Trump\u2019s sock puppet. Warsh\u2019s confirmation is expected to pass, and Tillis had previously said he would vote for him once the investigation was dropped.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kevin-warsh\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"20643\">Kevin Warsh&rsquo;s<\/a> confirmation vote to be the next Federal Reserve chairman is scheduled for Wednesday, April 29, according to a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/senate\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"8765\">Senate<\/a> banking committee notice.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/thom-tillis\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"973\">Thom Tillis<\/a> (R-NC), a member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, previously said he would place a hold on any nomination until the White House ends its investigation into the current chairman.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4539301\/doj-drops-investigation-jerome-powell-trump-fed-kevin-warsh\/\">DOJ DROPS INVESTIGATION INTO JEROME POWELL, CLEARING WAY FOR TRUMP FED PICK KEVIN WARSH<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/doj\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1551\">DOJ<\/a> had been investigating Powell over spending related to the Federal Reserve building renovations.
