Fed Chair Powell Criminally Referred To DoJ For Perjury

Last week saw President Trump kinda sorta deny reported plans to fire Fed Chair Jay Powell:
“We’re not planning on doing it,” he said Wednesday at the White House.
“I don’t rule out anything,” he added, “but I think it’s highly unlikely, unless he has to leave for fraud.”
But now, that latter comment is coming into play as Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., refers Powell to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for criminal charges, accusing him of two specific instances of lying under oath.
Luna is accusing Powell of perjury on two occasions, according to a letter to the DOJ first obtained by Fox News Digital.
"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," Luna's letter said.
Specifically, she accused him of lying about lavish amenities at the Federal Reserve's Eccles Building and misrepresenting its state of maintenance.
"Separately, in a letter to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought, Chairman Powell characterized the changes that escalated the cost of the project from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion as minor. However, documents reviewed by congressional investigators indicate that the scope and cost overruns of this project were neither minor in nature nor in substance," Luna wrote.
