Watchdog finds no criminal activity by Powell over Fed renovation
Original: News Wrap: Watchdog finds no criminal activity by Powell related to Fed renovation
A PBS News Wrap segment reports that a watchdog investigation found no criminal activity by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in connection with the central bank's headquarters renovation. The finding closes off talk of wrongdoing tied to the costly building project, which had drawn political criticism and questions about Powell's conduct as Fed chair.
Why now: The renovation had attracted scrutiny and criticism of Powell, so the watchdog's clearance is newsworthy.
