JANET YELLEN/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP FAMILY/IVANKA: “Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen met with Ivanka Trump in July, roughly a week before President Donald Trump said he was considering nominating the central bank chief to a second term.
Ms. Yellen met the president’s eldest daughter and senior adviser for a one-hour breakfast July 17 in a room at the central bank, according to the latest release of the Fed leader’s monthly calendar, which didn’t provide further details.
Mr. Trump told The Wall Street Journal in an interview July 25 that he thought Ms. Yellen was doing a good job and he had ‘a lot of respect for her.’ He also said Ms. Yellen was in the running to serve a second four-year term as leader of the central bank, after her current term expires in February…
Mr. Trump had also said in an April interview with The Wall Street Journal that it was possible he might nominate Ms. Yellen for a second term, saying then she was ‘not toast’ when her term ends…
A Fed spokesman declined to comment on the nature of the July meeting.”
