Which Republican senator vowed to oppose all Fed nominees over probe?

Question

Accepted Answer

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), a member of the Senate Banking Committee, vowed to oppose confirmation of any Fed nominee—including the upcoming Fed chair vacancy—until the legal matter is fully resolved. His opposition is significant because the Banking Committee is split 13-11 between Republicans and Democrats, meaning a single GOP defection could deadlock votes. Tillis stated "it is the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question" and added "If there were any remaining doubt whether advisers within the Trump Administration are actively pushing to end the independence of the Federal Reserve, there should now be none." His stance represents rare Republican pushback against Trump.
