Trump administration

Janet Yellen’s only advocate in the White House may be the one person who matters most: President Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump told reporters Monday he is “very, very close” to announcing his nominee for chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen defended the central bank’s use of unconventional and often unpopular monetary policy tools after the Great Recession.

The federal government ran an $8.0 billion surplus in September, the Treasury Department reported Friday.

The U.S. Senate probably will confirm President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Federal Reserve, but the process won’t be free of drama.

President Donald Trump concluded a White House meeting Thursday afternoon with Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen as House conservatives mounted a campaign to persuade him not to reappoint her.

President Trump said Tuesday that he has winnowed the number of candidates for the next Fed chair, including potentially reappointing Janet Yellen.

President Trump said he plans to choose from among five finalists to be the next Federal Reserve Chairman and will make his decision soon.

President Trump plans to announce his nominee to chair the Federal Reserve before he leaves Nov. 3 for an 11-day trip.

Randal Quarles was confirmed 65-32 as a Fed governor, and by voice vote as the vice chairman of banking supervision.
