Trump vs. The Fed
Amanpour
May 13, 2026

Kevin Warsh, set to take over as fed chair this week, vowed in his confirmation hearing that he would be independent of the White House. For more than a year, outgoing chair Jerome Powell, himself a Trump pick, has faced relentless criticism and legal targeting by this administration. And this unprecedent pressure campaign is the subject of a new "Frontline" documentary, "The President vs. The Fed." The doc's director, James Jacoby, joins the show from New York. 

Also on today's show: Dr. Paul Offit, Director of the Vaccine Education Center, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; Tyler Pager, White House Correspondent, The New York Times
