(Reuters) – U.S. (Reuters) – U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized the Federal Reserve Monday for its handling of an ethics controversy at the central banking institution ahead of Jerome Powell’s renomination hearing.

Warren is a Democrat, and he will be appearing before the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday to discuss whether the committee should proceed with his renomination. He has been re-elected to his post. She already stated her opposition. Powell will likely be confirmed.

Warren sent a letter to Powell stating that he was deeply worried by Powell’s refusal to reveal information on Fed officials trading. This is contrary to your commitment to deal with the scandal “forthrightly, transparently” and raises suspicions about the Fed’s failure to fully disclose the extent of the scandal.

Following two requests last year for information, she sent her latest letter. This follows a New York Times story last week revealing that Richard Clarida (Fed Vice Chair) had amended his prior financial disclosures last month. His updated disclosure revealed that he had sold a stock fund, then quickly bought it again shortly before the Fed launched a barrage rescue programs in an effort to curb the effects of the pandemic.

Following outrage over trading activity during the pandemic, two Fed presidents from regional Fed banks, Robert Kaplan of Dallas and Eric Rosengren of Boston, resigned last year.

Powell recently announced new ethics guidelines governing financial transactions at the central bank. Warren, however, requested that the Securities and Exchange Commission investigate Fed officials’ trading activities in order to find out if they violated any insider trading regulations.

Warren renewed her appeals to the Fed to publish all ethics communications that were sent to Fed officials between 2020 and 2021 in her letter. She asked for a reply by January 17
