Washington, D.C.: Republican Sen. Thom Tillis said Sunday he would withdraw his opposition and vote to confirm President Donald Trump's nominee Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve after receiving assurances that the Justice Department's probe into the Fed headquarters renovation is effectively settled. Tillis's prior stance had been prompted by the DOJ review and reports about the investigation. The change, announced this week on Meet the Press, followed U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's April 24 statement that she paused the DOJ inquiry and referred oversight to the Federal Reserve's Office of Inspector General. The referral shifts oversight responsibility, clears a major procedural hurdle for Warsh, and moves the nomination closer to a Senate consideration and potential vote.

凯文·沃什和特朗普政府因此受益,因为司法部暂停调查消除了沃什可能获得确认的一个关键程序障碍。
监管倡导者和翻新项目的批评者在调查暂停并移交给监察长后,立即失去了司法部的审查,这延迟了潜在的公众问责。
