Stephen Moore says he doesn't want to disrupt Fed,

Stephen Moore, who President Trump on Friday said he would nominate to the Federal Reserve, said in an interview he will be an "independent voice." Speaking to Bloomberg Television, the campaign adviser to Trump said his previous call to fire Chairman Jerome Powell "was probably written in a time of anger" but that the December rate hike was a mistake that has been reversed. He said he looked forward to working with Powell and that Powell could be a "hero." "I do not want to be disruptive, I want to be somebody that can really help Chairman Powell and the others on that board to construct the best pro-growth, stable price system that we can for this country," Moore said.
