The U.S. Department of Justice has joined the investigation into a leak of confidential Federal Reserve FOMC monetary-policy information in 2012
Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen confirmed the DOJ was now part of the investigation today
- Yellen wrote to Representative Jeb Hensarling, chairman of the House Financial Service Committee:
- "The Board's Inspector General and the Department of Justice are in the midst of an investigation into this matter"
- "We are cooperating fully with them and look forward to the results of their investigation"
Bloomberg confims also that Yellen said she would also provide the names of Federal Reserve personnel who had contact with Medley Global Advisors. Medley published a report on deliberations of the September 2012 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, one day before minutes of the meeting were made public.
