(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's team is reviewing new contenders to be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve, with a longtime economic consultant and a past Fed president added to the list, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

The Fed chair candidates include former St. Louis Fed President James Bullard; Marc Sumerlin, a former economic adviser to President George W. Bush; National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett; Fed governor Christopher Waller; and former Fed governor Kevin Warsh, WSJ said, citing officials.

Bullard and Sumerlin are two of the possible nominees added to a list of about 10 people under consideration for the job, as per the report.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
