Fed watchdog finds no crimes in $2.4 billion renovation

Original: Fed watchdog finds no crimes in $2.4B building renovation, only mismanagement

A Federal Reserve inspector general has concluded that the roughly $2.4 billion renovation of the Fed's Washington headquarters involved mismanagement but no criminal wrongdoing. The review drew wide attention after the project's cost overruns became a political flashpoint, with critics accusing the central bank of fiscal excess. Outlets across the US are reporting that investigators cleared officials of crimes while faulting poor oversight.

Why now: The renovation's ballooning cost had become a political controversy, so the watchdog's finding of no crime but mismanagement is newsworthy.
