Hassett stated that he does not overhear these calls but insisted he is "confident" the president will not pressure Warsh on interest rate decisions. Hassett said, "Wash and the president have a very close, long-standing relationship stemming from their interactions in New York City and Florida, and they have consistently discussed the economy. I also communicate with Warsh, and so does Bessett, so this is not news." Regular calls between Trump and Warsh are uncommon in the modern history of the White House-Federal Reserve relationship and have raised concerns that the president is seeking to influence the Feds policy-making. Hassett stated that Trump "respects the independence of the Federal Reserve."
