Autoritatea de supraveghere a Fed nu a găsit "motive' pentru urmărirea penală a fostului preşedinte al băncii centrale, Jerome Powell
The U.S. Federal Reserve's Inspector General found no reasonable grounds for criminal prosecution regarding the renovation of its Washington headquarters. President Trump had previously raised concerns about cost overruns and sought an investigation into former Fed Chair Jerome Powell. The report acknowledged management issues but did not identify any legal violations. Powell had requested the investigation amid criticism from Trump, who accused him of not lowering interest rates. The renovation costs escalated significantly, prompting Trump's allegations of fraud. The report's release sparked protests over perceived pressure on the Fed's independence.
