Conservatives campaign against Yellen's reappointment

Washington

HOUSE conservatives have mounted a campaign to urge President Donald Trump not to reappoint Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen, who is expected to meet him on Thursday as the president narrows his search for the next leader of the US central bank.

Representative Warren Davidson, an Ohio Republican and member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, is circulating a letter for colleagues on the House Financial Services Committee to sign against Ms Yellen's re-appointment, he said.
