Trump criticizes the overspending on the renovation of the Federal Reserve headquarters and calls for an investigation into former Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell
US President Trump claimed that there were management flaws in the renovation project of the Federal Reserve headquarters, resulting in a cost overrun of $2.5 billion, and requested that Attorney General Todd Blanche investigate. After 4 years of construction, the final cost of the project has not been determined, and the total amount is expected to rise to $3.5 billion to $4 billion. Trump has demanded the resignation of former Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and stated that if he refuses, the US government should consider pursuing legal action to hold him accountable.
