Trump Tells Warsh to Do ‘Own Thing’

Insight & analysis on the White House and Capitol Hill.

President Donald Trump stressed that he wants Kevin Warsh to independently lead the Federal Reserve, as he looked to downplay investor concern that he would pressure the new central bank chief on policy decisions.

Warsh, who has promised the biggest shakeup in decades at the US central bank, was sworn into office Friday in a White House ceremony as the 17th chair of the Fed.

“I want Kevin to be totally independent. I want him to be independent and just do a great job. Don’t look at me, don’t look at anybody, just do your own thing and do a great job,” Trump said during the swearing-in ceremony.
