Investigative journalist James O’Keefe released an undercover video this week on an official who says he helps write speeches for Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell.
The man, Aurel Hizmo, is listed on the Federal Reserve website as the Principal Economist in the Real Estate Finance Section of the agency.
In the newly-released video, Hizmo is seen sitting at a table in a restaurant speaking with a woman, completely unaware that she is an undercover journalist for O’Keefe Media.
Hizmo reveals not only his disdain for former President Donald Trump, but brags that Powell wanted to be remembered “as somebody who held the line, against like Trump.”
O’Keefe first shared the bombshell 14-minute undercover video, along with the following commentary:
BREAKING, INSIDE THE FEDERAL RESERVE: Hidden Camera captures Principal Economist @federalreserve talking about Jerome Powell’s legacy as “somebody who held the line against like, Trump.” The influential agency responsible for maintaining a stable monetary system appears to not just be establishing interest rates, but to be setting policies for desired social outcomes.
“Under Powell, the Fed has changed to think about equity issues, like racial issues, think about wealth inequality as part of the mandate, as part of the things we are following. Think about climate change.” Aurel Hizmo, Principal Economist at the Federal Reserve, who prior to working at the Fed was an Assistant Professor @NYUStern and received his PhD in Economics from @DukeU, helps write speeches for Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell for the Federal Open Market Committee.
Hizmo says “Trump is just a crazy person” and conservatives are “dumb” as he describes to OMG’s American Swiper Citizen Journalist a politicized Federal Reserve Board where Powell has promoted ESG issues like climate change and “wants to be remembered in history” “as a savior.” But shhh…don’t tell anyone because Hizmo says: “I’m just really worried that I’m saying stuff that’s classified…It’s all classified.”

But it gets better….
O’Keefe posted a follow-up video, in which he called and confronted Hizmo about his comments.
Caught like a deer in the headlights, Hizmo declared, “I never said that!”
“But we have you on tape,” O’Keefe declared.
At one point, Hizmo declared, “You’re just wasting your time talking to me. I’m not a Federal Reserve official.” In fact, based on his profile on the Federal Reserve website, he has been affiliated with the agency since 2016.
After repeated denials, Hizmo fled, jumping into his vehicle and driving away.

Hizmo has since deleted his LinkedIn profile, which included the following description that is still visible on Google search results:
Washington, District of Columbia, United States · Principal Economist · Federal Reserve Board, Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Georgetown University M.S. in Foreign Service Graduate. Former Director at Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. New York, …
O’Keefe posted a screenshot of the LinkedIn profile, and announced, “We saved everything.”

Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy commented on the undercover video.
“The more “apolitical” a bureaucracy tries to act, the more political it ends up being. This is stunning footage of a Principal Economist at the Fed Reserve Board detailing deeply politicized views at top of the Fed – of Trump, of conservatives, & of the Fed’s own mandate itself,” Ramasamy wrote.
