US-Notenbank: „Sofort“ – Trump fordert Powells Rücktritt als Fed-Gouverneur
Der Fed-Generalinspekteur hat keine Hinweise auf strafrechtliche Verstöße bei der Renovierung der Notenbank entdeckt. Trump fordert trotzdem, dass Powell als Fed-Gouverneur zurücktritt.
New York - An internal review of the Federal Reserve's billion-dollar building renovations found no evidence of criminal or administrative misconduct, according to a 120-page report released on Wednesday. Despite the report, President Trump urged Fed Governor Jerome Powell to resign from the Federal Reserve board. The focus of the criminal investigations was the cost overruns in the renovations, which Trump claimed had exceeded budget in a tweet on Wednesday.
Trump suggested that Powell be forced to resign from the Fed board "immediately" and that "he should not be allowed to run his high-interest policy," if he did not resign. He called on Attorney General Todd Blanche to review the report and potentially bring charges against Powell for corruption or incompetence.
