President Trump Says He Will Fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell if Powell Does Not Resign

President Trump said he would fire Jerome Powell if Powell remains after his term as Federal Reserve chair ends on May 15. The update adds that Powell could continue as acting chair if a nominee, identified as Warsh, is not confirmed by the Senate before then. Trump also said the U.S. Justice Department is investigating the Federal Reserve headquarters renovation project, extending the dispute over Powell’s future at the central bank beyond questions about the end of his chair term.
