>criticism of Yellen on this part is being defended - by the White House press secretary

The White House press secretary whose brother works at Citadel.

Edit: Her cousin* according to Bloomberg https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-31/the-citad...



Your edit drastically undersells the extent to which you were wrong on this one.

> Amateur sleuths found fertile ground to fan conspiracies. They didn’t hesitate in casting Jeff Psaki, a money manager at Citadel, as proof of dark arts at the firm. It started with claims that Psaki, an ex-Goldman trader, was married to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. He’s not: He’s her second cousin and has never spoken to her, a person who knows him said. But on it went, ricocheting from chatboards to Twitter and beyond.

Quick, name all your second cousins!


Resolution of conflicts of interest linked to a multi billion dollar failure should probably be supported by a more authoritative source than “a person who knows him”. I afford everyone the benefit of the doubt in everyday life, when it comes to politicians and this much money is involved I don’t. I respect people who see it differently.


This is not true. If it were, wouldn't this brother be mentioned in her grandfather's obituary?
