["'Fed's Mouthpiece' Reveals: Waller Asked to Disclose Call Records with Trump"] Golden Finance reports that Nick Timiraos, chief economics correspondent for *The Wall Street Journal* and often referred to as the "Fed's Mouthpiece," has written a new article stating that Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Waller is facing intense audit pressure from Congress. On Wednesday local time, four members of the Senate Banking Committee, led by Senator Chris Van Hollen, jointly sent a letter to Waller, demanding the disclosure of all communication details with U.S. President Donald Trump. The controversy began with a report earlier this month. The report cited sources claiming that since Waller assumed the role of Federal Reserve Chair in May this year, he has maintained frequent phone communications with Trump. However, according to the Federal Reserve's officially disclosed schedule for Waller's first five weeks in office, these call records are conspicuously "missing," with no relevant entries documented. In their letter, Van Hollen and the other senators bluntly stated that this asymmetry of information is highly misleading and could even spark public concerns that "the White House is influencing monetary policy." In fact, Waller has not shied away from disclosing meetings with senior White House economic officials in the Fed's public schedule, yet the absence of any records of direct contact with Trump has been criticized by the senators as "increasingly abnormal."
