币界网报道:FHFA Director Sandra Thompson criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for allegedly misusing $2.5 billion on luxury renovations to the Fed's headquarters, calling it an "unnecessary extravagance" during economic uncertainty. Thompson argued these funds could have better served housing finance reforms or economic stabilization efforts. The Fed defended the renovations as essential maintenance for the historic building's functionality and security. This dispute highlights tensions between financial regulators over budget priorities amid rising inflation concerns. Powell has not publicly responded to the accusations.
