Lashing Out at Ballroom Lawsuit, Trump Highlights Fed Renovations -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Apr 01

1731 ET - President Trump once again criticized the Fed's expensive headquarters renovation project, arguing that the central bank's over-budget renovation compares unfavorably with Trump's White House ballroom-construction effort, subject of a lawsuit from a preservation group. "The National Trust for Historic Preservation sues me for a Ballroom that is under budget," Trump posts on social media. "Yet, The National Trust for Historic Preservation, a Radical Left Group of Lunatics whose funding was stopped by Congress in 2005, is not suing the Federal Reserve for a Building which has been decimated and destroyed, inside and out, by an incompetent and possibly corrupt Fed Chairman." Republican pushback against a criminal investigation over the Fed project threatens to delay confirmation of Trump's pick, Kevin Warsh, to serve as the Fed's next chair.
