Does anyone have anything more substantial than “a confidential source” or “According to our sources in the U.S. Treasury” about the rumors swirling around Washington D.C. that the Federal Reserve is printing an extra Two Trillion U.S. Dollars in cash?

Please, please, somebody point me something official–or otherwise substantiated, otherwise let’s write this off as unfounded rumor-mongering.
