OMB director says Powell has ‘grossly mismanaged’ Fed
Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, said Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell "has grossly mismanaged the Fed."
"While continuing to run a deficit since FY23 (the first time in the Fed's history), the Fed is way over budget on the renovation of its headquarters," Vought wrote on X.

Vought said "Powell's recent testimony to Congress has led to serious questions that now require additional oversight from OMB, in conjunction with the National Capital Planning Commission," and added that he's written a letter to Powell.
Vought's accusation follows the pressure campaign Trump has fronted, pushing Powell to lower interest rates and has also played with the idea of replacing Powell as Fed Chair.
