Punchbowl News: “A lone Senate Republican stared down the most powerful man in the world and won this morning, forcing President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice to drop an unsubstantiated criminal inquiry into the chair of the Federal Reserve.”“The move could clear the way for Kevin Warsh to be confirmed as the next chair of the Federal Reserve before Powell’s term ends on May 15. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) has vowed to block Fed nominees through the Senate Banking Committee as long as the Powell probe remains open.”“Let us speak plainly. The DOJ’s exercise here resulted in zero political upside for Trump — just a singular, stinging failure. Having a new Fed chair will be a nice perk, but the investigation was nothing but a headache for anyone involved.”
