特朗普总统周二上午对寻求终止司法部对杰罗姆·鲍威尔刑事调查的途径表现出毫无兴趣，此举旨在解决一个可能无限期拖延其美联储主席提名候选人凯文·沃什确认程序的僵局。
在沃什确认听证会开始前约90分钟的一次电话连线采访中，CNBC的乔·克南反复尝试引导总统找到解决方案。克南向特朗普提出了一个核心问题的不同版本：为何不让国会处理对美联储大楼翻修项目的监督，从而让鲍威尔退出、让沃什上任。特朗普拒绝了每一个递到眼前的机会。他表示“我们必须查清”资金流向，并一度暗示翻修成本高到足以让人怀疑美联储的承包商——甚至鲍威尔本人——可能涉嫌挪用资金，而这一成本数字此前已被特朗普夸大。
北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯已将其对沃什的支持票与调查的终止挂钩。若失去蒂利斯的支持，该项提名将在委员会阶段陷入停滞。尽管面对友善的采访者和清晰的解套机会，特朗普依然拒绝接受任何“出口匝道”。
