President Donald Trump's nominee for the position of the chair of the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh, is set to have his confirmation hearing tomorrow, April 21. He will be replacing Jerome Powell as Fed chair, someone who didn't always see eye to eye with Trump.
Ahead of Warsh's big day, a report has emerged that Democrats plan to probe his links to Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted child sex offender.
Warsh's name appears in the Epstein files, and his financial disclosures raise additional unanswered questions regarding potential links to Epstein, according to a report by Scott MacFarlane, a reporter with Democrat-leaning news outlet MeidasTouch.
The report states that Warsh and his wife 'appear in a list shared with Epstein titled 'St. Barth's Christmas 2010,' among other guests who were planning to attend a party on the island.'
Warsh's name also appears in an email with a list of individuals invited to a movie premiere, which includes Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's associate who is now in prison.
Notably, several individuals' names appear in the Epstein files, but they do not all indicate wrongdoing. There mere appearance of one's name is not an admission of guilt, the Justice Department noted.
