All source submissions that originally contained this claim.
The Federal Reserve, under Chairman Kevin M. Warsh, raised interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point, the first increase in over three years, to combat elevated inflation. This decision, supported by all 12 FOMC members, lifts rates to a new range of 3.75 to 4 percent.
A Federal Reserve inspector general report found no misconduct or illegal activity in the central bank's nearly $2.5 billion renovation project, despite poor management. The findings undermine a Justice Department investigation into former Fed Chair Jerome H. Powell.
