GOP Sen. Thom Tillis Says He Will Block Any of Trump’s Fed Picks Over Investigation into Powell

TRANSCRIPT:

RAJU: "Do you think the White House is trying to stop the independence of the Fed?"
TILLIS: "I don't think it's the White House. I think it's somebody at DoJ. I mean, the president said he wasn’t in the mix. Another example of amateur hour, as far as I’m concerned."
RAJU: "Should they drop the investigation?"
TILLIS: "I’m not going to get into that. What I’m going to do is drop any consideration for any board confirmation until it's done."
