Former Federal Reserve economist Nellie Liang withdrew from consideration for a seat on the central bank’s board of governors, the White House said Monday.
Liang dropped out of her own accord and wasn’t pressured by the White House, said a person familiar with the matter. There haven’t been any White House discussions of withdrawing the other pending nominee for a vacancy on the Fed board, Carnegie Mellon University professor Marvin Goodfriend, the person said.
