Trump Insists on Thorough Probe into Powell
Despite warnings from Republican lawmakers, U.S. President Trump stated on Monday that the ongoing investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Powell should continue without interference.
He emphasized that the probe, led by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro in Washington D.C., must "go all the way and reach a conclusion," signaling no intention to back down.
Republican Opposition Grows
Some GOP senators had previously warned that they would block Powell’s successor’s nomination if the probe continued. Yet Trump’s stance shows he is ready to challenge that pushback.
