The chair of the House Financial Service Committee accused Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chair Martin Gruenberg of slow-walking a congressional investigation into the agency’s workplace problems, firing off a letter requiring an immediate commitment to sit down for a transcribed interview.
Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) reprimanded Gruenberg for a “repeated failure” to be “transparent” with the committee following the publication of a report earlier this year that detailed significant workplace problems at the FDIC going back decades. Gruenberg has led the agency in separate stints starting with the George W. Bush administration.
