REP. LUNA REFERS FED CHAIR POWELL FOR CRIMINAL CHARGES OVER PERJURY CLAIMS Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) has referred Fed Chair Jerome Powell to the DOJ, accusing him of lying under oath about renovations at the Fed’s Eccles Building. Luna alleges Powell falsely downplayed the project’s $600 million cost increase and denied luxury features like a VIP dining room and rooftop garden. Powell denies the claims and has launched a probe into the renovation costs. Perjury carries up to five years in prison. Trump allies have pushed for Powell’s removal, but Trump has said it’s “highly unlikely” he would fire him before his term ends in 2026.
