Stephen Moore, a Heritage Foundation fellow, is President Trump's intended nominee for an opening on the Federal Reserve board, but some Senate Republicans are voicing concerns about Moore's past. The White House has yet to formally nominate him, raising the possibility that Moore’s nomination could be finished before it ever officially begins. “It’s hard to look past some of those [comments]," Moore Capito said. He apologized over the weekend for his past comments about women, although he didn’t get into specifics. The White House has stood by Moore as news of his past legal troubles and writings have surfaced and caused a firestorm.
