Demitri Bolt / Townhall Tipsheet

 

House GOP ally of President Trump, Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), is referring Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for criminal prosecution alleging two instances where he lied under oath.

 

The letter to the DOJ, obtained by Fox News Digital, accuses Powell of perjury in two cases. The letter read: 

"On June 25, 2025, Chairman Powell provided testimony under oath before the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs regarding the renovation of the Federal Reserve’s Eccles Building. In his statements, he made several materially false claims."

Representative Luna specifically accused him of lying about lavish amenities at the Federal Reserve's Eccles Building, where renovations characterized as minor would cost taxpayers between $1.9 and $2.5 billion. Read more and see X here.
