The appointment of CFTC Chairman nominated by Trump has been postponed due to controversy

On August 8th, it was reported that the appointment process of Brian Quintenz, the CFTC chairman candidate nominated by Trump, was blocked. Internal emails indicate that Quintenz may have been exposed to confidential CFTC information while serving as a director of Kalshi, a predictive market company. The related blog post has raised doubts on Capitol Hill, and the White House has requested the Senate Agriculture Committee to postpone the nomination vote.
