"Scott emphasized, "What we're not gonna do is have two chairmen. For sure, we're not going to debate what we're putting into the record. What we are going to do is have a conversation about America's economy.""
"Warren protested, "Mr. Chairman, before we start the next question, I ask that we have entered into the record the U.S. Office of government ethics certification, which requires that all nominees disclose all of their assets and showing that Mr. Warsh is out of compliance.""
During Kevin Warsh's confirmation hearing for the Federal Reserve, Sen. Tim Scott asserted his authority as chairman, emphasizing that there would be no dual leadership. A tense exchange occurred when Sen. Elizabeth Warren interrupted, questioning Warsh's compliance with ethics requirements. Scott acknowledged Warren's concerns but noted that Warsh would be compliant within 90 days. The hearing was paused as Scott insisted on maintaining order and focusing on economic discussions, rejecting any debate over the record being established.
