Kevin Warsh, the nominee for Federal Reserve chair, has cleared a key procedural step by submitting his Office of Government Ethics paperwork to the Senate Banking Committee. This move eliminates the primary bureaucratic delay that had stalled his confirmation process.
The filing with the OGE was the last major requirement before a hearing could be scheduled. The committee had initially aimed for an April 16 hearing date, but that timeline slipped when the ethics documentation was not ready. With this hurdle now cleared, senators can proceed with scheduling the confirmation hearing, which could occur as soon as next week.
