OPINION: My Brush With Personal Destruction
What did my divorce and my humor writing have to do with my ability to make monetary policy?
When President Trump asked me to serve as a member of the Federal Reserve Board, I was honored. I never imagined the storm that would follow. The left and the media instantly launched a relentless campaign against me. Last week a reporter who has covered the Fed for 30 years told me he’d never
