Today, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, issued a statement after the White House officially transmitted the nomination of Kevin Warsh to be Chair of the Federal Reserve to the U.S. Senate:

"Kevin Warsh would be nothing more than Donald Trump's sock puppet at the Fed. The Senate must not move forward on his nomination as President Trump continues to weaponize the Department of Justice to seize control of the Fed through witch hunts against Chair Powell and Governor Cook. Nothing has changed."
