Original: Shocking, I know. US Fed watchdog finds no criminal wrongdoing in Powell-era renovation costs https://www. aljazeera.com
A US Federal Reserve inspector general has found no criminal wrongdoing in the cost overruns surrounding the central bank headquarters renovation overseen during Jerome Powell's tenure. The finding comes after months of criticism from President Trump and allies, who used the expensive renovation to attack Powell and justify pressure on the Fed. Supporters of Powell see the report as vindication; critics remain skeptical.
Why now: The report contradicts Trump administration claims used to attack Fed Chair Jerome Powell, making it politically charged.
