March 6 (Reuters) - ‌The ​head ​of the House Financial Services ‌Committee on Friday told ⁠Bloomberg TV that he ‌hoped that the ‌first of the twice-yearly updates to Congress ​from the chair of the Federal ⁠Reserve will occur soon.

That testimony, due ​to be delivered by outgoing Chair Jerome ​Powell, has ‌yet to be scheduled amid a ⁠Department of Justice probe into remarks Powell ⁠made during the Senate leg ​of last summer's congressional testimony. The chair's first testimony ‌traditionally takes place between the Fed's ‌first and ⁠second meetings ‌of the ​year.
