Dec 15 (Reuters) - White House economic adviser and Federal Reserve chair front-runner Kevin Hassett's candidacy has received some pushback from people close to President Donald Trump, CNBC reported on Monday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The opposition is owing to concerns that Hassett is too close to the president, the report added. Reuters could not immediately verify the details in the report.
