“Jerome Powell was sworn in as chair of the Federal Reserve eight years ago”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states Powell was sworn in eight years ago. However, official Federal Reserve evidence states he was sworn in for a second four-year term on May 23, 2022. Given that Fed terms are four years, his first term would have begun in 2018, making the total tenure approximately 6-7 years, not 8.
