Trump’s Fed Pick Plans to Keep His White House Job

“Federal Reserve nominee Stephen Miran, a senior White House economic adviser, told Senate lawmakers Thursday that he does not plan to resign from the Trump administration if confirmed to the Federal Reserve’s board of governors — an unusual arrangement likely to raise concerns about the central bank’s independence,” the Washington Post reports.

“If confirmed, he would be the first modern-day Federal Reserve Board member to maintain such close ties to the White House.”
