Trump's Fed choice Moore withdraws!

• The decision comes amid controversy over Moore's past writings about women.

President Donald Trump says his pick for the Federal Reserve board, conservative commentator Stephen Moore, has withdrawn from contention.

The decision comes amid controversy over Moore's past writings about women.

He lost Republican support in the Senate, which would have to vote on a potential nomination.

Trump tweeted the news on Thursday, calling Moore "a great pro-growth economist and a truly fine person."Numerous GOP senators said they objected to Moore's disparaging past writings about women.
