Trump Intensifies Pressure on Federal Reserve Chair Powell Amid Investigation

Former President Trump has urged the Department of Justice to continue its investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, insisting it should proceed to its conclusion despite concerns about the independence of the Federal Reserve. This comes as Powell prepares for his first policy decision after the Trump administration initiated the inquiry. The situation has raised alarms among investors, with worries that the ongoing feud between Trump and Powell could destabilize financial markets and the economy. The Federal Reserve, facing multiple subpoenas related to the investigation, has yet to comply, leading to heightened scrutiny of its actions as the pressure mounts.
