In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Senator Elizabeth Warren, the ranking Democrat on the banking committee that is overseeing his confirmation, said Kevin Warsh would be little more as Fed chairman than Trump's "sock puppet". Trump has suggested that, if confirmed, Warsh would conform to his agenda and lower interest rates, which the president argues is necessary to boost the US economy. The former Fed governor said the independence of America's central bank "is essential" and vowed that he would be committed to preserving its self-governance.
