By Matt Grossman

Warsh is asked whether as Fed chair, he would continue Jerome Powell's practice of holding a press conference at every policy meeting. Warsh doesn't directly address the question, but voices skepticism about whether such frequent communication with the press is helpful.

"If you ask me my true personal opinion right now, Fed chairs and other central bankers around the FOMC, they speak quite frequently," Warsh says. "I would say this, I think truth seeking is more important than repetition. If one has a press conference, one wants to deliver some important news," Warsh adds, before being interrupted.
