White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said on Sunday that U.S. President Donald Trump has the right to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell if there is evidence to support it, adding that the Fed is "very responsible" for cost overruns in the renovation of its Washington headquarters. Hassett said any decision by Trump to fire Powell would largely depend on the Fed's response to questions about the headquarters renovation. White House budget office director Russ Vought last week slammed Powell for "lying" about the Fed building renovation. Trump has repeatedly said that Powell should resign because he has not lowered interest rates. (Golden Ten) [Odaily Planet Daily News]
