Rep. Luna Refers Federal Reserve Chair Powell to DOJ for Perjury Investigation

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has formally referred Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to the Department of Justice, seeking criminal charges and a perjury investigation.

The referral stems from Powell's June 25 sworn testimony before the U.S. Senate Committee, where Luna alleges he made false claims about the Eccles Building's renovations.

Luna accuses Powell of denying luxury features and a major renovation of the Eccles Building, despite a 1999-2003 overhaul and a $600 million budget surge.

The congresswoman emphasizes the gravity of lying under oath, especially for officials overseeing the monetary system, calling for transparency in taxpayer-funded projects.

Luna's referral is based on alleged contradictions between Powell's statements and official project documents, accusing him of knowingly misleading Congress and executive officials.
