President Trump's likely nominee for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board, Stephen Moore, owes the government more than $75,000 in taxes and other penalties, Bloomberg reports.

Bloomberg obtained a court filing from January 2018 showing the government won a judgment against Moore for $75,328.80. The filing stated it was for unpaid taxes from the 2014 tax year, and extra penalties could be added. It was filed in Montgomery County, Maryland, where Moore owns a home. Moore, a senior fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, told Bloomberg any questions about the lien should go to his wife, Anne Carey.
