Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte on Wednesday called on Congress to investigate Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell over his Senate testimony on the $2.5 billion renovation of the Fed building.

William Pulte, FHFA director and chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, released a statement Tuesday accusing Powell of providing deceptive testimony to Congress and suggesting there may be grounds for his removal.

As White House officials including the president escalate attacks on the central-bank chair, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency alleges Powell misled lawmakers about a renovation of Fed headquarters in Washington.
