President Donald Trump’s nominee for Federal Reserve chair, Kevin Warsh, evaded Senate Banking Committee questions on Tuesday about more than $100 million in undisclosed investments that could be linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Chinese government, money‑laundering schemes or even President Trump’s own family. Senator Elizabeth Warren pressed Warsh on assets held in entities called “THSDFS LLC” and the “Juggernaut Fund,” asking whether he would disclose any ties to Epstein; Warsh replied only that he would sell the holdings if confirmed and that he had an agreement with the Office of Government Ethics to divest, refusing to provide further details. The hearing highlighted Warsh’s opaque financial history, his recent appearance in Epstein‑related files, and his marriage to billionaire heir Jane Lauder, underscoring concerns that the potential Fed chair could be beholden to secretive and potentially compromising assets.

President Donald Trump’s nominee for Federal Reserve chair, Kevin Warsh, faced intense scrutiny during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Banking Committee when Senator Elizabeth Warren demanded answers about more than $100 million in undisclosed investments, including assets in “THSDFS LLC” and the “Juggernaut Fund,” and specifically asked whether any were tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Warsh repeatedly refused to confirm or detail those holdings, insisting only that he would divest the assets if confirmed, while refusing to explain how or when the divestiture would occur. The hearing highlighted Warsh’s opaque financial background—he is married to billionaire heir Jane Lauder, granddaughter of Estée Lauder—and raised concerns that his undisclosed ties could pose conflicts of interest, especially given his name’s appearance in the government’s Epstein files, although no criminal implication has been established.

Vienna,

and the Greenland policy of the Trump administration.

What do they have to do with each other?

A note in the online regional newspaper #zwischenbrücken

At the time, Lauder was more likely to speak of a purchase of Greenland, the New York Times wrote in 2022
- not of a military conquest.

And the idea seemed so bizarre in Trump's first term that the team around the president tried to hide it from the public.

Shortly after Trump's second assumption to office, however,
Lauder saw the right moment and personally followed up.

In February 2025,
he wrote a comment for the major tabloid "New York Post" with the title:
"I'm a Greenland expert
- these 3 paths can make it
⭐️America's next frontier".

The self-proclaimed Greenland expert Lauder describes how the USA could expand its borders towards Greenland.
