| Trump Probes Fed Chair Over Building Renovation | 12 Jan 2026 | 00:01:36 | |
The Trump administrations criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over a $2.5 billion renovation project is sparking controversy. Critics view this as an attempt to pressure Powell into lowering interest rates, a demand Trump has made for over a year. Subpoenas were issued after Powell described project costs to lawmakers, with Trump labeling it the highest price per square foot ever. This comes as Trump hints at naming a new Fed chair nominee this month, despite Powells term as chair ending in May but his governor seat running until January 2028. A bipartisan group of former Fed chairs, along with Republican Senators, are pushing back against the probe, warning it could erode the Feds independence and fuel inflation. Powell has fired back, vowing to stand firm on his duty for price stability and jobs. The move may unify the Fed board behind Powell and potentially keep him on as governor to protect its independence. Checkout Solipillow.com DNN | The Daily News Now!
