共和党参议员姆·蒂利斯 (Thom Tillis) 仍然反对提名特朗普总统的候选人凯文·沃什 (Kevin Warsh) 担任美联储主席, Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina remains opposed to advancing President Trump’s nominee Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve until the Justice Department drops its criminal investigation into former Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s testimony about the Fed’s $2.5 billion building renovation. Tillis称调查出于政治动机,是对中央银行独立性的威胁,但他表示对妥协持开放态度:让参议院银行委员会调查翻修费用超支问题。 Tillis calls the probe politically motivated and a threat to the central bank’s independence, but he signaled openness to a compromise: having the Senate Banking Committee investigate the renovation’s cost overruns instead. 据报告,由财政部长斯科特·贝森特提出的这一想法被视为一种潜在的替代办法,但尚未正式确定。 The idea, reportedly suggested by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, is seen as a potential alternative but not yet formalized. Tillis支持Warsh作为提名人,并指出委员会中的七名GOP参议员认为鲍威尔在简短的证词中并未犯罪。 Tillis supports Warsh as a nominee and noted that seven GOP senators on the committee believe Powell did not commit a crime during his brief testimony.
