Kevin Warsh, nominated by Donald Trump to chair the US Federal Reserve (FED), was questioned during a hearing before the Senate Banking Committee on April 21, 2026 this year.
In this regard, one of the most tense moments of the session was when Sen. Elizabeth Warren questioned him about the lack of transparency in the nominee’s financial statements and pressed him to reveal whether his undisclosed assets were included. Investments related to the Trump family, entities accused of money laundering, Chinese-controlled companies, and vehicles associated with Jeffrey Epstein.
“You have over $100 million in undisclosed assets. Are you refusing to tell us whether you have invested in vehicles designed to support Jeffrey Epstein’s interests?” Warren asked during the hearing.
Mr. Warsh declined to answer directly about the composition of his portfolio, saying only that “if approved, these assets would be sold prior to taking office.”
