Sign InThe U.S. Department of Justice has reversed its previous stance and officially dropped its investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. This sudden pivot follows earlier plans to appeal a judicial ruling that blocked subpoenas against Powell, signaling a de-escalation in the legal standoff. The decision is strategically aimed at clearing any hurdles for the confirmation of Kevin Warsh, President Trump’s nominee to lead the central bank. Warsh is now expected to take office on May 15, coinciding with the official end of Powell's term. Market analysts suggest that ending the probe will restore a sense of institutional stability and reduce concerns over the Fed's independence. This move effectively concludes the administration's legal pursuit of Powell as the leadership transition date approaches. The resolution is expected to provide much-needed clarity for global financial markets regarding the future of U.S. monetary policy.
