Fed Chair Powell Praises Integrity and Public Service Spirit Amid Trump's Continued Attacks

In a speech at Princeton University's commencement on Sunday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stated that being an honest public servant is always a worthwhile choice. At this time, he has been subjected to relentless personal attacks by U.S. President Trump for several months. Powell said, "As you move forward in a world full of bright opportunities, I urge you to embrace challenges and seize the chance to serve your fellow citizens. Fifty years from now, you will want to be able to look in the mirror and know that you did what you believed was right at every stage of your life." He added, "Ultimately, integrity is all you have. Please guard it carefully."
