Trump Reaffirms No Plans to Remove Powell Amid DOJ Probe

 

                                            Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell arrives at the U.S. Federal Reserve
                                            in Washington, U.S., January 13, 2026.


U.S. President Donald Trump said he does not currently intend to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, even as Powell faces a criminal investigation by the Department of Justice over alleged cost overruns tied to the Fed’s headquarters renovation project.

In an interview, Trump emphasized that he has “no plan” to remove Powell but noted that it is still “too early” to determine whether the investigation could influence future decisions. He described the situation as a “holding pattern,” suggesting the administration is waiting for more clarity before taking any action.

Powell, whose term as Fed chair ends in May but who can remain on the Board of Governors until 2028, recently disclosed that the DOJ had issued grand jury subpoenas and threatened possible indictment. He has denied wrongdoing and argued that the probe is politically motivated.

Trump also hinted that he is considering potential successors, mentioning former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett as strong candidates should a leadership change occur.
