A Democratic candidate is under investigation for allegedly faking racist social media posts and impersonating two individuals, including a judge. This follows reports that a Biden appointee at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is being scrutinized for impersonating a judge and a realtor in a racial abuse hoax where he reportedly sent slurs to himself. Additionally, the FDIC is facing internal turmoil as its board members struggle to agree on how to investigate allegations of misconduct against its Chair, Gruenberg. The board recently rejected a proposal for a comprehensive investigation, opting instead for a less rigorous approach that critics argue lacks accountability. This decision has drawn sharp criticism from various political figures, including Senator Thom Tillis, who condemned the Chair's refusal to recuse himself from the vote on the investigation. Meanwhile, a Florida state representative has been indicted on forgery charges following an investigation into her background and conduct as an administrator at a family-run school.
