“I’m honored the president nominated me for the position, and I’ll be an independent actor if confirmed as Chairman of the Federal Reserve,” Warsh said Tuesday in a Senate Banking Committee hearing.
Warsh was responding to a question from Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana about whether he would be a “sock puppet” for the president. “Absolutely not,” Warsh responded.
Warsh also said that President Donald Trump has not asked him to commit to making certain rate decisions.
“The president never once asked me to commit to any particular interest rate decision, period,” Warsh said. “And nor would I ever agree to do so if he had.”
