Trump Pushes Influence Over Fed Through Regular Calls with Warsh

US President Donald Trump has been in regular contact with Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh since his confirmation in May, according to sources familiar with the matter. The conversations, which have occurred multiple times, involve Trump asking about Warsh's forecasts and opinions but do not appear to be pushing for a specific course of action.

The nature of these calls is described as 'irregular' by one source, while another notes they are infrequent, with some people speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the private conversations. Trump's efforts to influence the Federal Reserve raise questions about his intentions and the potential impact on monetary policy in the US.
