Claim 1: “U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell attends a press conference in Washington, D.C., the United States, on Dec. 13, 2023.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided evidence confirms that Jerome Powell is the Fed Chair and that he holds news conferences, but none of the search results specifically confirm a press conference occurring on December 13, 2023. The WSJ link is a general 'Watch Live' page and the Wikipedia entry provides biographical data, not a specific event calendar for that date.
