U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh on Tuesday vowed to "do my job" if challenged by President Donald Trump, his most direct comment so far about how he would handle the sort of pressure his predecessor did for much of his tenure.
Asked how he would react if Trump continues targeting the U.S. central bank through efforts that included the attempted firing of Fed Governor Lisa Cook, Warsh told the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee that the U.S. Supreme Court had recently reaffirmed the Fed's independence in setting monetary policy.
