Trump Denies Frequent Contact with Fed Chair Warsh
President Donald Trump has denied frequent contact with Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh, saying their conversation was brief and occurred only once recently.
The exchange highlights concerns about political pressure on the Fed as Trump continues to weigh in on interest rate policy more openly than most recent presidents.
Trump says he spoke with Warsh 'one time, briefly, a few days ago,' contradicting reports that suggested they have spoken repeatedly since Warsh took over in May.
