Warsh's Fed Bid Hits Turbulence as Warren Probes Epstein 'Yield Curve' Links

Senator Elizabeth Warren, the financial sector's unofficial chief compliance officer, is sharpening her regulatory claws for a deep dive into Kevin Warsh's candidacy for the Federal Reserve's top spot. Her target: the former Fed governor and Trump nominee, now facing the political equivalent of a surprise audit.

The investigation is zeroing in on the not-so-greatest hits in Warsh's alleged playlist: his purported connections to the infamous Epstein files. It’s the kind of association that makes even the most seasoned DC operator look like they’ve been trading on the wrong kind of insider information.

Further specifics are pending, likely to drop with all the subtlety of a whale selling into a thin order book. As always, consider this political drama, not a signal to ape into or out of any positions.
