New York CNN —Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Chair Martin Gruenberg testified Tuesday that he was unaware of the allegations of widespread sexual harassment and discrimination at the agency detailed in a Wall Street Journal investigation.
“I did not know about the individual cases,” Gruenberg told him.
Martin Gruenberg, chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, told senators on Tuesday he was troubled by the allegations detailed in a Wall Street Journal investigation.
The report also referenced a 2019 survey conducted by the inspector general that found 8% of the 2,376 respondents experienced sexual harassment between January 2015 to April 2019.
The 2020 inspector general report made 15 recommendations to prevent and address sexual harassment at the agency, which Gruenberg said in his testimony on Tuesday had been implemented but acknowledged “didn’t change the culture” at the FDIC.
