Fed Chair Warsh to testify before lawmakers on July 14

June 22 (Reuters) – Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh will deliver his first testimony on monetary policy ​before Congress on July 14, ‌at 10 a.m. ET (1400 GMT), according to a hearing notice published by the House Financial Services Committee on Monday.

The U.S. ‌central ​bank chief is ⁠required by law ⁠to testify before Congress twice a year, in February and in July, and would typically be expected ​to appear at the Senate Banking Committee on July 15. A ⁠staffer for the ⁠Senate committee did not immediately ​respond to a request for confirmation ​of that date.

Financial Services Committee Chair ‌French Hill never did schedule Warsh’s predecessor, Jerome Powell, for this year’s February session. The Department of ⁠Justice had late last year opened a criminal investigation into statements Powell made to ⁠the ‌Senate Banking Committee in ⁠his July 2025 testimony.

A federal ​judge ‌ruled the DOJ probe was ​an ⁠inappropriate effort to pressure him to lower rates or resign, and it has since been suspended.
