Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has asked Fed chair nominee, Robert Warsh, to clarify his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, who was convicted of sex crimes with a minor. Warsh's name was found in documents related to Epstein released by the government earlier this year. Warren asked Warsh to respond to eight questions regarding possible interactions between him and Epstein and others associated with him. The timeline for Warsh’s confirmation is uncertain due to a criminal investigation into the Fed and current Fed Chair Jerome Powell, which has prompted Republican Senator Thom Tillis to delay his appointment until that investigation is resolved.
