Recently, the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia (USAO-DC) opened a criminal investigation into Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, over the much higher-than-expected costs of renovating the central bank’s headquarters.

Do you want state prayer alerts?

 

From the Daily Caller:

The investigation centers around the skyrocketing costs for the renovation of Federal Reserve headquarters, which greatly exceeded previous estimates of $2.5 billion. Powell confirmed the probe in a statement released Sunday.

“On Friday, the Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas, threatening a criminal indictment related to my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June,” Powell said in a statement. “That testimony concerned in part a multi-year project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings.”

USAO-DC told the Daily Caller News Foundation that it does not comment on ongoing investigations.

Representative Anna Paulina Luna reportedly referred Powell to the DOJ in July. She cited testimony he gave before the Senate in June, accusing him of perjury. The Representative announced the move on X at the time, highlighting Powell’s “crazy $2.5BN building.”

President Trump also raised questions about the renovations during a tour last July of the Federal Reserve headquarters. The President presented Powell with documents showing the cost of renovations had ballooned to $3.1 billion, showing a cost overrun of roughly 25%.

This is yet another way in which the Trump administration is bringing truth and justice. Let’s ask the Lord to guide the DOJ as it investigates the federal reserve.

What do you think of this investigation? Share your prayers for truth and justice blow.

The cost to renovate ballooned to 3.1 Billion!!! That is totally absurd and unacceptable! Again, government fraud and huge waste of taxpayers dollars uncovered! Thank God the Federal Reserve to be held accountable. Those dollars should have been spent on meeting the needs of the poor in America and overseas. How could Powell in good conscience allow it to continue!!!

It appears that the Fed Reserve chairman has gone quite overboard in his “renovation” project. First of all, does this renovation really need to be done, and why the staggering amount of money to do so? I hope that this investigation proves to answer the questions. Thank You Jesus, and may Your will prevail in this situation.

Father, You are the One who knows the whole truth of all of this: why the investigation; why the cost overruns; and whether there is any guilt on the part of anyone in this matter. Please provide the people of this country the whole truth. Thank you. Amen.

While I am grateful for more oversight in the use of taxpayer dollars, this seems like political retaliation. I pray that conservative do not lower themselves to using the devises of the enemy. Cost overruns, especially during times of massive inflation are typical. Are we really going to become like that which we hate?
