Trump's team expands search for Fed chair to about 10 names, WSJ reports
Aug 8 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's team is reviewing new contenders to lead the Federal Reserve once Chair Jerome Powell's term ends in May, including a longtime economic consultant and a past regional Fed president, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. The 10 or so people on the newly expanded list include former St. Louis Fed President James Bullard and Marc Sumerlin, a former economic adviser to President George W. Bush, WSJ said, citing officials. Trump last week said he had narrowed the list to four. National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett and former Fed governor Kevin Warsh remain under consideration, along with current Fed governor Christopher Waller, WSJ said. Reuters has previously reported that these three are candidates, but could not immediately verify the rest of the report. Trump has been criticizing Powell all year for not cutting rates, building on disappointment with the Fed chief that emerged during his first term as president shortly after he elevated Powell to the Fed chair role. It was not clear what a broader list of candidates would mean for the timing of an appointment. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is helping lead the search. The president moved quickly to name an ally to the Fed Board this week after Fed Governor Adriana Kugler, a Biden appointee who did not support rate cuts, unexpectedly resigned as of the end of this week. Council of Economic Advisers Stephen Miran will serve out the remaining months of Kugler's term, which ends on January 31. Trump has indicated a search continues for someone who could fill the Fed Board role for a 14-year term beginning February 1.

Shameful catfight past of woman who has just landed top job working for Boston's Democrat-run city hall
A staffer for a Boston lawmaker managed to get a job inside City Hall despite being charged after allegedly assaulting a bartender. Samantha Peracchi, who was hired by Democrat City Councilor Gabriela Coletta in April, is facing charges of assault and battery following the alleged assault last year. Surveillance footage first obtained by Mass Daily News appears to show Peracchi making her way behind the bar of L'Osteria, a North End restaurant, in May of last year. The woman approaches a female bartender, who is clutching a bottle in her hand, and pushes her backwards. In the clip, the woman can be seen cornering the bartender before she starts hitting the worker. Another member of staff then walks into the bar area to attempt to split the two up but is thrown backwards to the ground. The woman then proceeds to continue assaulting the bartender, repeatedly punching her in the head and grabbing her hair. Eventually the woman that had been knocked to the ground regains her composure and manages to split up the brawl. According to court records, Peracchi was charged with a misdemeanor assault and battery charge and was arraigned in October. She pleaded not guilty. The case still remains active following a litany of pretrial hearings, the latest of which took place in April. The next date has been scheduled for April 15, 2026. The outlet reported that she was ordered by the court to have no contact with the victim and to stay out of the restaurant as part of her pretrial probation. Coletta had welcomed Peracchi to her team in April of this year despite the ongoing litigation, saying she 'comes from a distinguished family of public servants.' A post to her social media said: 'Thrilled to welcome lifelong North End resident Samantha Peracchi to my team to support North End and Wharf District residents in making City Hall more accessible and responsive for all. 'I'm confident she understands the unique needs of our residents, and I look forward to working with her to enhance quality of life in District One. Please give her a warm welcome!' In May, Peracchi's position was formally approved by the city council - led by Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu - on the exact day of the year anniversary of the alleged assault. Daily Mail has approached Peracchi and her boss Coletta for comment on the new footage. It comes after a top staffer for Boston Mayor Michelle Wu allegedly struck a woman in the face with her own high heeled shoe in a street brawl. Ciara D'Amico, the deputy director of neighborhoods in Wu's administration, was allegedly seen in footage launching her stiletto at a woman outside a 7/11 store. According to a police report, D'Amico joined the melee after her father John punched a woman in the face multiple times, before her two sisters also entered the fray. The alleged victim said that she was neighbors with the suspects, cops said, but no arrests have been made following the altercation. Mayor Wu's office said: 'We hold all our employees to the highest standards. The City is taking steps to administer discipline to the employee. 'No arrests were made and no charges have been filed. The City cannot comment further as this is a personnel matter.'

Trump spectacularly ousts the head of the IRS and puts in one of his closest loyalists
President Donald Trump is replacing the head of the Internal Revenue Service with one of his closest loyalists. Only two months after he was confirmed as commissioner of the IRS, Billy Long will reportedly be replaced at the request of the president, according to the New York Times. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will serve as acting commissioner until a permanent replacement is found. Long, a former Missouri House lawmaker, was confirmed to his post back in June by 53-44 Senate vote along party lines. Democrats opposed Long's nomination due to his lack of a resume in tax policy. Long is reportedly set to be nominated for an ambassadorship after his departure. Long's limited experience included promoting a tax credit along with calling for the abolition of the IRS while serving in Congress. During his tenure as IRS head, Long helped push the Trump administration's purge of the agency's top officials.
