纽约，3月25日电（路透社）——根据路透社审阅的一封信，美国民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦周三向美联储高级官员、前资深华尔街银行律师兰德尔·吉恩（Randall Guynn）施压，要求其解释在新职位上如何处理潜在的利益冲突。
路透社上月率先报道，吉恩在律师事务所Davis Polk的40年职业生涯中曾为美国最大的几家银行工作，现已被任命为美联储监管局主任——这是一个监管银行业的重要职位。他将向美联储副主席兼监管局局长米歇尔·鲍曼（Michelle Bowman）汇报工作。

监管局负责美联储对银行业的广泛监督，包括为美国最大、最复杂的金融机构制定规则和进行审查。
鲍曼于2025年最初将吉恩聘为顾问，以帮助执行2008年金融危机后出台的银行业规则和监管措施的全面改革。这一改革是唐纳德·特朗普政府更广泛的放松管制推动的一部分，该政府表示繁文缛节正在损害经济增长。
沃伦在3月25日的信中写道：”这些事项几乎肯定涉及您前客户的利益，其中一些主题正是您直接代表客户的事项。”

沃伦就吉恩迄今为止如何处理潜在利益冲突以及他何时进行了回避等细节向其施压。
美联储发言人证实收到了这封信，但拒绝进一步置评。
吉恩曾领导Davis Polk的金融机构组，他于1986年加入该公司，被广泛认为是银行业监管专家。根据Davis Polk的传记，他曾代表大量银行和其他金融机构，包括美国八大银行和多个行业贸易组织，并就监管提案向他们提供咨询。
路透社对美联储新闻稿的回顾显示，吉恩被任命为监管局主任标志着美联储的一个转变，该机构自至少1977年以来一直由长期任职的美联储职业员工担任这一职位。
吉恩定于周四在众议院议员举行的听证会上作证。

US Democratic lawmaker Warren presses Fed official over conflicts | Reuters

NEW YORK, March 25 (Reuters) – U.S. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren on Wednesday pressed top Federal Reserve official and former veteran Wall Street bank attorney Randall Guynn to explain how he is handling potential conflicts of interest in his new role, according to a letter reviewed by Reuters.
Reuters was first to report last month that Guynn, who worked for the biggest U.S. banks during his 40-year career at law firm Davis Polk, has been tapped to be director of the Fed’s supervision and regulation division, a powerful Fed position policing the industry. He will report to Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman.

The supervision and regulation division is responsible for the Fed’s broad oversight of the banking sector, which includes setting rules for and examining the nation’s largest, most complex financial institutions.
Bowman initially brought Guynn in as an adviser in 2025 to help execute a sweeping overhaul of banking rules and supervision practices that were introduced following the 2008 financial crisis. The overhaul is part of a broader deregulatory push by President Donald Trump’s administration, which says red tape is hurting economic growth.
“These matters almost certainly implicate the interests of your former clients, and some of these topics are matters on which you directly represented clients,” Warren wrote to Guynn in the letter dated March 25.

Warren pressed Guynn on how he has so far handled potential conflicts and for details of when he has recused himself.
A Fed spokesperson confirmed receipt of the letter, but declined to comment further.
Guynn previously led the Financial Institutions Group at Davis Polk, which he joined in 1986, and is widely recognized as an expert on banking regulation. He has represented a raft of banks and other financial institutions, including the nation’s eight largest lenders and multiple industry trade groups, and counselled them on regulatory proposals, according to his Davis Polk biography.
His appointment to be director of the supervision and regulation division marks a departure for the central bank, which since at least 1977 put long-tenured Fed career staff in that role, according to a Reuters review of Fed press releases.
Guynn is due to testify at a hearing held by lawmakers in the House of Representatives on Thursday.
