Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) questioned the independence of Dr. Stephen Miran, President Donald Trump's nominee to be a member of the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors.

At a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Thursday, Warren presented Miran with what she said was an "easy question to show that you have some independence from the president."

"Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 presidential election?" she asked.

"Joe Biden was certified by the Congress," Miran replied.

"Did Donald Trump lose that election?" Warren pressed. "Can you say the words Donald Trump lost that election? Are you independent enough to say that?"

"Congress certified Joe Biden as president of the United States," the nominee repeated.

"Woo!" Warren exclaimed. "Let me ask you another question... Do you agree with President Trump that the BLS published fake numbers to manipulate the outcome of the 2024 presidential election?"

For his part, Miran criticized "the data quality from the Bureau of Labor."

"That's not the question about the data quality," Warren said. "Did, as President Trump said, the BLS publish fake numbers to manipulate the outcome of the 2024 presidential election? This is what President Trump said. Is he right?"

The senator was forced to ask the question a third time after Miran again focused on "data quality."

"Donald Trump stated that the BLS faked the job numbers before the election to try and boost Kamala's chances of victory," she explained. "Do you agree with that? Yes or no?"

"The Bureau of Labor Statistics did not take corrective action to improve the quality of steadily deteriorating data," Miran stated.

"Just two straightforward questions about your independence, and you've blown both of them," Warren remarked.
