Foster Statement on Reported FDIC Misconduct

Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Bill Foster (D-IL), Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Monetary Policy, issued the following statement in light of reported widespread and entrenched misconduct by FDIC employees: 

“I am disturbed by reports of widespread sexual harassment and gender discrimination at the FDIC. These are serious allegations that must be investigated and those responsible should be held accountable. I echo Chairman McHenry’s call for a briefing by the FDIC’s Office of the Inspector General and look forward to getting detailed information about their investigation.”
