Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell hasn’t committed to a timetable for a vote on President Donald Trump’s controversial nomination of Judy Shelton to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

“We’re taking a look at that nomination, and we’ll let you know when we’re in a position to move forward with it,” McConnell said when asked about Shelton’s nomination Tuesday during an interview with CNBC.
