GoKawiilCNBC investigation details espionage case against ex-Fed official John Rogers
CNBC's Eamon Javers published an investigation into John Harold Rogers, a former senior Federal Reserve official arrested by the FBI in January 2025 on suspicion of passing central bank information to a Chinese government agent. Investigators say a personal relationship exploited by the alleged agent became entangled with Rogers' professional access, though his lawyers maintain he shared no valuable information. The Fed and its Inspector General's office declined to comment, and Rogers declined to be interviewed.
