The Federal Reserve should focus on getting its balance sheet “as lean as possible,” President Donald Trump’s economic adviser Kevin Hassett says on Fox News’ Sunday Briefing.
Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, speaks to members of the media outside the White House in Washington, DC, US, on Monday, Jan. 12, 2026. Hassett said President Trump’s views on interest rates are not connected with the DOJ investigation into the Fed.
