"Sen. Gallego said at the hearing that the president confirmed to us he asked Kevin Warsh to cut interest rates. That is false- our reporting does not say Trump asked him to cut interest rates. He asked Warsh if he could trust him to SUPPORT the cut of interest rates."
"Earlier today, you said to Senator Kennedy that President Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates in your job interview. Is that your sworn testimony? That is, Senator, replied Warsh."
"During a 45-minute meeting with Warsh on Wednesday at the White House, the president pressed Warsh on whether he could trust him to support interest rate cuts if he were chosen to lead the central bank."
Sen. Ruben Gallego faced a fact check from Wall Street Journal reporter Brian Schwartz regarding comments made about Kevin Warsh during a confirmation hearing. Gallego claimed Trump asked Warsh to cut interest rates, which Schwartz refuted, clarifying that Trump only asked if he could trust Warsh to support such cuts. During the hearing, Gallego questioned Warsh about Trump's statements, suggesting a contradiction between Warsh's testimony and Trump's comments. The exchange highlighted the importance of accurately representing statements made in political contexts.
