Trump gets stunning fact check from Jerome Powell to his face as presser goes awry

President Donald Trump received a brutal fact-check from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Thursday during a tour of the renovated Federal Reserve headquarters.

Trump claimed that the total cost of the project had soared from $2.7 billion to $3.1 billion, a figure that surprised Powell. Trump then handed Powell a paper that purported to show where the cost overrun occurred. In response, Powell told Trump that his numbers were wrong.
