Republican lawmakers on the House Financial Services Committee are seeking an urgent briefing from the FDIC’s inspector general regarding allegations of pervasive sexual harassment at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The move comes after reports of a “toxic” culture at the FDIC that led female employees to leave, with accusations of sexual harassment and other misconduct. The lawmakers, including Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry, called this a “severe departure” from the agency’s mission and are pushing for immediate action. FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg is expected to face questioning on the matter during Congressional hearings this week.
