Adultery, arrears and amends: Inside Trump Federal Reserve pick Stephen Moore's messy and very expensive divorce
Court records from Stephen Moore's divorce paint President Donald Trump's nominee to the Federal Reserve Board as a brazen philanderer who openly talked about his mistress in front of his kids — and then continued shorting his ex-wife on tens of thousands of dollars of alimony and child support even after a judge held him in contempt of court.
"POTUS completely behind him," that official said in an email, using the acronym for"president of the United States." And then when the couple split, she claimed, he did not pay her — or their three children — what he had agreed to, she said. It was only after a judge's contempt order, and a threat in that order to have Moore arrested so he could purge that contempt, that he began paying Allison alimony and child support.
While Trump has called Moore a"very respected" economist, not everyone in the economics field is nearly so impressed with him. Greg Mankiw, a conservative who headed the Council of Economic Advisers under President George W. Bush, said in a blog post that Moore lacked the"intellectual gravitas" for the Fed post.
The majority Republican committee has yet to schedule a hearing for Moore. The majority spokeswoman of the committee noted that Moore has yet to be formally nominated. She also noted that committee chairman Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho,"has said it's 'a priority to fill every seat on the board" and that"it will receive prompt attention."
The Guardian newspaper first reported Saturday about details of the Moores' divorce and the fact that a judge in Fairfax County, had held Stephen Moore in contempt of court for failing to pay Allison more than $300,000 in alimony, child support and the balance of their divorce settlement. Moore"was neither discrete nor inconspicuous with his relationship with Ms. Wallmark," Allison claimed in her divorce action."In fact, he tastelessly and open spoke with [Allison] on several occasions about plans and events he was attending with Ms. Wallmark."
