#FDIC Chair #MartinGruenberg will resign after an outside report found #evidence of a “misogynistic” & “patriarchal” culture at the #banking regulator. #Gruenberg… announced Mon he would resign once President #Biden appoints & the Senate confirms a successor….
An independent investigation led by an outside law firm found rampant instances of #abusive workplace conduct…, incl’g #SexualHarassment, #stalking & inappropriate supervisor-subordinate relationships….
Lawmakers last week grilled #Gruenberg over the allegations. Back-to-back hearings in both the #House & #Senate, initially intended to address #oversight of #financial regulators, last week instead focused heavily on the culture at the #FDIC & Gruenberg’s behavior. Multiple members of #Congress…called for his resignation.
#Trump has a huge posse today, including #KashPatel; #GerryKassar, a #conservative party leader in NY; #BernieKerik, fmr NYPD commissioner who was imprisoned for tax fraud & false statements; #AlanDershowitz, lawyer who defended Trump during his first impeachment, & #BorisEpshteyn, legal adviser who was #indicted in AZ for attempts to keep Trump in power after the 2020 election.
#Blanche is now asking #MichaelCohen about meeting w/people ahead of his public testimony before a #House panel in 2019. He asks him about meeting w/ #DanGoldman, then a House investigator & now a congresssman in NY. Then he jumps back to Oct 2016 & #StormyDaniels.
Blanche is skipping around again. He started by speaking about 2024, then went back ~5yrs, to 2019, & is now back in 2016, right before he made the #HushMoney payment to Daniels.
He recently testified before the #House#Judiciary Cmte, where he assailed Cohen’s credibility.
Costello also testified before the #GrandJury last year, in a last-ditch plea to the panel to not accept Cohen’s word. Which obviously didn’t work since the grand jury #indicted#Trump.
