Republican Senator Thom Tillis said he will support Kevin Warsh's nomination as Federal Reserve chair, paving the way for his confirmation after the Department of Justice dropped a criminal investigation on the body's current leader, Jerome Powell.
Speaking on NBC News, Tillis said "we worked a lot over the weekend to make sure that we were very clear that we have assurances from the DOJ that I needed to feel like they were not using the DOJ as a weapon to threaten the independence of the Fed."
