Bloomberg's Mike McKee detailed changes to the Federal Reserve that fed chair nominee Kevin Warsh revealed in his confirmation hearing Tuesday, saying that Warsh may want to change or eliminate economic guidance. Warsh told Senators that he is not a fan of the Fed's forward guidance and feels that it sticks to it too closely. Warsh also indicated that he would aim to hem in federal reserve members speaking out ahead of rate decisions.

Former Treasury official Kitty Richards, senior strategic adviser at the Groundwork Collaborative, said the financial disclosures of Kevin Warsh, the nominee to be chair of the Federal Reserve, leave some important questions unanswered because some of his holdings remain under wraps.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis called on the Department of Justice to end its probe into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for the Fed building cost overruns so he can support Kevin Warsh's nomination.

Tillis expanded on the Fed building's renovation costs, saying, "There were a variety of reasons why this building went over budget. And as a matter of fact, if we put everybody in prison in federal government that had had a budget go over, we'd have to reserve an area roughly the size of Texas for a penal colony because of way government projects work."
