New York (CNN Business)Kevin Hassett, chairman of the White House's Council of Economic Advisers, is leaving his post.
....
Hassett previously served as a senior economist at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. He told CNN that he would not be joining the Federal Reserve Board.
In April, Hassett refused to endorse Trump's pleas for the Federal Reserve to slash interest rates to juice growth.
"It's not my job at CEA to give the Fed advice," Hassett told CNN at the time. "My job at CEA is to remind people to respect the independence of the Fed."
