Yellen’s comments come the day after #JeromePowell confirmed he’d been made aware that the #USAttorney’s Office in Washington, DC, is looking into whether the #CentralBank leader lied during testimony he provided to #Congress last June about an expensive renovation project at the Fed’s HQ. The office is led by #JeaninePirro, a #Trump confidante & fmr #FoxNews host.
The #DOJ has not confirmed the investigation into what would be perjury charges.
#JanetYellen bristled at the notion that #JeromePowell might have lied.
“Knowing Powell as well as I do, the odds that he would have lied are zero so I do believe they’re going after him because they want his seat & want him gone,” she said.
