Claim 2: “After eight years spanning three administrations, 66 interest-rate-setting meetings, a pandemic, a criminal probe and countless attacks from the Trump administration, Jerome Powell capped his final policy meeting as chair of the Federal Reserve on Wednesday.”
CORROBORATED
The claim is repeated verbatim across three independent cross-reference sources (Flipboard), stating that Jerome Powell capped his final policy meeting as chair of the Federal Reserve after a period described as eight years, 66 interest-rate-setting meetings, a pandemic, a criminal probe, and attacks from the Trump administration. Since the claim is reported identically by multiple independent sources, it is corroborated.
