Trump's Fed chair nominee named in Epstein files

According to The New Republic, "Warsh's name appears to be on an emailed list of guests to 'St. Barth's Christmas 2010,' among others such as Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and disgraced director Brett Ratner. Warsh also appears on a list of people attending a dinner hosted by British aristocrat William Astor." The nomination of Warsh, a bank executive and former Fed governor working at the conservative Hoover Institution, was considered surprising to some observers, as he is a relatively qualified and conventional pick at odds with Trump's recent demands for total Fed control " although Warsh has recently grown more supportive of Trump's desire for lower interest rates.
