Published February 7, 2017 6:40pm ET



Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen will testify before Congress on Valentine’s Day, in what will be her first appearance before lawmakers during the new Trump administration that has seen high anti-Fed sentiment among Republicans.

The office of Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, announced Tuesday that Yellen would appear before the committee Feb. 14 to deliver the semi-annual monetary policy report. Yellen also must deliver the report to a House committee, although a date for that testimony has not been announced.
