Bessent says the probe into Fed Chair Jerome Powell is 100% justified, “NOBODY is above the law!” “There NEEDS to be some accountability!” “The Fed is now LOSING $100B a year! $100B! With NO accountability!” Jerome should RESIGN, NOW. The Fed’s bleeding billions under Powell’s watch, time for real oversight and America First monetary sanity. No more excuses!

Thorne as misleading. According to this view, Chair Powell publicly suggested the DOJ was threatening a criminal indictment over his testimony on costly Fed building renovations—despite the DOJ never using that term. The U.S. Attorney’s Office had repeatedly sought clarification on cost overruns and testimony accuracy, but those requests were ignored until grand jury subpoenas were issued, after which Powell framed the situation as retaliation. Monetary policy independence remains intact, but it does not imply immunity from fiscal or legal oversight. Invoking “central bank independence” in this context is seen as an attempt to shield the Fed from accountability rather than a genuine threat to rate-setting autonomy. Source: Bloomberg, James E.

Federal prosecutors are officially investigating the Fed Chairman over a $2.5 billion renovation project. But according to Powell, this isn't about construction costs. It’s about independence. Here is what you need to know: The Charges: Grand jury subpoenas have been served regarding the $2.5B HQ renovation and Powell’s related testimony to Congress. The Conflict: Powell explicitly linked the probe to President Trump’s frustration over interest rate decisions. The Stakes: This isn't just a legal battle; it’s a fight for the soul of the central bank. Powell warns that if political pressure wins, evidence-based policy loses. The Market Reaction: Stock futures are already sliding as investors digest the news. Gold, Silver and Cryptos are up. The dollar is slightly down Why this matters for every professional: Central bank independence is the bedrock of global financial stability. If monetary policy becomes a political tool, the rules of the game change for everyone—from Wall Street to Main Street. Powell’s message is clear: Is the Fed driven by data or intimidation? The outcome of this investigation won't just impact Powell’s career—it will redefine the future of the Fed independence.
