Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) said he would not consider a nominee to replace ousted Fed governor Lisa Cook until the legality of President Trump’s move to fire her has been determined in court, signaling that the Senate is unlikely to approve a new nominee for her seat while the issue is being litigated, Politico reports.
Said Tillis: “I’m not going to consider anybody until that’s been adjudicated.”
