Fed watchdog finds no criminal wrongdoing in $2.5bn renovation
Original: Fed watchdog finds ‘deficiencies’ but no criminal wrongdoing in $2.5bn renovation project
A Federal Reserve internal watchdog reviewed the central bank's roughly $2.5 billion headquarters renovation and found 'deficiencies' in how the project was handled, but concluded there was no criminal wrongdoing. The project has been a recurring political flashpoint, with critics seizing on its cost to attack the Fed's management. The findings stop short of clearing the institution of administrative failures.
Why now: The costly renovation has been a major political criticism of the Fed, so the watchdog's findings draw attention amid ongoing battles over the central bank's leadership.
