#FederalReserve nominee #StephenMiran, a senior #WhiteHouse economic adviser, told #Senate lawmakers Thursday that he does not plan to resign from the #Trump admin if confirmed to the Fed’s board of governors — an unusual arrangement likely to raise concerns about the #CentralBank’s #independence.

…Miran said he plans to take an unpaid leave instead of stepping down from the White House because he would only be filling a short-term slot on the 7-member #Fed board.
