White House economic council chair Kevin Hassett stated he anticipates no significant findings from the investigation into cost overruns related to a Federal Reserve building project. Separately, Madison Sheahan, a Trump ally and the second-ranking official at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), announced her resignation from her leadership position on Thursday. Sheahan, who identifies as a "Trump conservative," is leaving ICE to pursue a congressional seat in Ohio. In her campaign announcement video, Sheahan emphasized the expansion of ICE during her time with the agency. Her departure and congressional bid mark a shift from her role in federal law enforcement to electoral politics.
