President Donald Trump's embattled Federal Reserve board pick Stephen Moore is comparing reaction to his nomination to that of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was accused of sexual misconduct after being tapped for the high court.
President Donald Trump's embattled Federal Reserve board pick Stephen Moore is comparing the reaction to his nomination — which has included disclosures of sexist writings and shorting his ex-wife of more than $300,000 in a divorce payout — to the one faced by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was accused of sexual misconduct after being tapped for the high court.
Moore said that"I kind of wear it as a badge of honor" that purported opponents of his nomination in the media are bringing up"my divorce 10 years ago, or something I wrote 25 years ago." Moore echoed Cain's concerns about pay, saying during his interview that"probably the easiest thing to do would be to throw in the towel," and noting that"I'm taking a 60 percent cut" in pay if approved for the Fed.
Since Moore's nomination, there has been a steady drip of revelations about his past, which are detailed in court records and Internet news archives.
