Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has declined to return calls from the beleaguered head of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva, since a scandal broke, indicating that the Biden administration’s withholding of support for her goes beyond its public statements.
 
Georgieva has made attempts to speak with Yellen but has failed to get through, people familiar with the matter said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
 
A bipartisan pair of top senators asked Yellen to ensure “full accountability” after an investigation found Georgieva improperly influenced a report in China’s favour in her previous job at the World Bank.
