💨 Abstract

The U.S. House Oversight Committee released a report alleging that D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith manipulated crime data and penalized officers for accurate reporting. Meanwhile, Kevin Hassett, a candidate for Federal Reserve chair, stated that while he would convey President Trump's views to the Fed, the committee would independently decide on interest rates. Trump has been vocal about wanting lower rates, raising concerns about the Fed's independence.
