Washington (CNN Business)President Donald Trump said Friday he plans to nominate his former campaign adviser, Stephen Moore, to the Federal Reserve Board.

"It is my pleasure to announce that @StephenMoore, a very respected Economist, will be nominated to serve on the Fed Board. I have known Steve for a long time -- and have no doubt that he will be an outstanding choice!" Trump tweeted.

Moore, 59, is the author of "Trumponomics: Inside the America First Plan to Revive Our Economy" and a former member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board. He was also formerly a CNN contributor.

A CNN spokeswoman confirmed that Moore is no longer a contributor, but did not comment on when the relationship ended.

The pending nomination was first reported by Bloomberg News.

Trump confirmed the report in remarks to reporters when he arrived in Palm Beach, Florida, saying: "He's going to be a great. He's going to be great on the Fed."
