Claim 1: “Stephen Miran exits the Fed”

DISPUTED

The claim states Stephen Miran 'exits' the Fed, but the evidence explicitly states he has 'served as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors since September 2025' and 'has taken leave from his role as head of President Donald Trump's Council of Economic Advisers to serve on the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors'. He is entering/serving in the role, not exiting it.
