Trump Fed Pick's divorce records are put under temporary seal

Since Mr. Trump raised, Mr. Moore has been pushing for lower prices. In December, upset by the fourth rate increase in the year, he urged the Fed's leader, Jerome H. Powell, to go down or be fired.

Herr. Trump has promised Mr. Moore's view of the Fed, but it is unclear whether he could win the Senate Confirmation.

Last year, I.R.S. filed a lien against Mr. Moore linked to $ 75,000 in tax return. Mr. Moore, in an interview last week with The New York Times, described it as a "big miscalculation" of the agency.

It is unclear whether the $ 75,000 tax bill relates to child and spousal support payment crimes set by The Guardian.

Mr. Moore said in an interview on Thursday that for a single tax year he had claimed both the value of his aliment, which at that time was deductible for all divorces and the value of his non-child support payments. He said the child support amounted to about $ 18,000, which, given his tax console, worked out about $ 6,000 in taxes he owed but did not pay. He blamed the error on his accountant.

But Mr. Moore said he was not just hit by a tax. After an audit, he said that I.R.S. considered his return for that year "fraudulent" and allowed other deductions. With penalties and fees, the amount came to over $ 75,000, he said.

Mr. Moore said he and his current wife had been trying for years to solve the I.R.S. problem, including dispute resolution, but had not heard from the agency for nearly two years.
