Trump's nominee for statistics agency defends data integrity against president's claims

10 Haziran 2026Financial Times

Brett Matsumoto, President Trump's nominee to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, has defended the integrity of the agency's data. In a recent testimony before US lawmakers, he asserted that the reports produced by the Bureau are based on scientific methods rather than political motivations.
This statement comes in response to claims by Trump regarding the manipulation of data for political gain.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is a key agency responsible for providing essential economic data, including employment figures and inflation rates. The agency's credibility is vital for informed policy-making and public understanding of economic conditions.
Matsumoto's defense highlights a crucial aspect of governmental data agencies: the need for independence from political influence. His assertion aims to reassure lawmakers and the public that economic indicators are reliable and rooted in empirical research.
