The Senate Banking Committee holds a hearing today on President Trump's latest nominee for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board.
NPR's Scott Horsley reports the hearing comes at a sensitive time for the central bank.
Trump has tapped White House economic adviser Stephen Myron to fill a short-term vacancy on the Fed board.
If confirmed, Myron would take the place of Adriana Kugler, who stepped down last month.
Trump is also trying to free up another seat on the board by firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook.
The president and his allies have accused Cook of making a false statement on a mortgage application.
Cook has not been charged, and she's gone to court in an effort to keep her job.
If the president is successful in replacing Cook,
a majority of Fed governors would be Trump appointees.
Trump has repeatedly demanded that the central bank lower interest rates.
Even though by law, the Fed is supposed to be insulated from that kind of political pressure.
