Trump reportedly calls Warsh frequently, "Fed whisperer" confirms: Yes, multiple times

2026-08-06 04:28

Odaily News: White House economic policy reporters revealed that since Warsh took office as Fed Chair, Trump has spoken with him on the phone multiple times, maintaining a rare channel of communication between a president and a central bank governor.

"Fed whisperer" Nick Timiraos replied under the report: "The pace of the president's calls to Warsh has been uneven—sometimes several times within a few days, followed by long stretches of no contact. Trump has sought Warsh's advice on a range of issues, including the economic impact of the Iran war and the rapid rise of artificial intelligence."

Earlier, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent specifically named Nick, noting that one of the highlights of Warsh's tenure as Fed Chair will be watching stenographers disguised as journalists—such as the Wall Street Journal's Nick Timiraos (previously known as the "Fed whisperer")—reduced to reporting behind-the-scenes Fed gossip, because without someone feeding them information, they cannot produce genuine economic or monetary policy analysis.
