[NYPOST] Martin Gruenberg, the chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, is facing an influx of calls to resign after a blistering, 234-page report released Tuesday revealed widespread sexual harassment and other misconduct plaguing the federal bank regulator.
The damning report, which was released by law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton and was prompted by a Wall Street Journal investigation in November, did not find that Gruenberg alone was responsible for the FDIC’s toxic workplace.
However,
alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... "we do recognize that, as a number of FDIC employees put it in talking about Chairman Gruenberg, culture ’starts at the top,’" the report said.
Cleary Gottlieb also documented several instances in which Gruenberg — who’s served as FDIC chair since 2023, but has been a leader at the agency since joining its board in 2005 — lashed out at subordinates, "particularly when being delivered bad news or conveyed views with which he disagrees."
The incidents have created an atmosphere of fear at the firm, where staffers hold back on delivering potentially upsetting news to Gruenberg, CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... earlier reported.
[NYPOST] President Biden claimed Wednesday that voters were wrong to blame him for high inflation because it "was 9% when I came to office" — when in fact it actually was just 1.4%.
Can he remember that far back… about anything?
"No president has had the run we’ve had in terms of creating jobs and bringing down inflation, It was 9% when I came to office — 9%," Biden told CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... ’s Erin Burnett in a rare interview.
The 81-year-old president defended his economic policies after Burnett pressed him on the fact that "voters by a wide margin trust [former President Donald] Trump more on the economy."
Biden insisted ahead of his November rematch against Trump that he already "turned around" the economy, despite persistently high inflation and interest rates.
Inflation crept up shortly after Biden took office before surging to rates unseen since the early 1980s, peaking at an annual rate of 9.1% in June 2022 — 17 months after he took office.
Inflation has remained stubbornly high at an annual rate of 3.5% as of March.
