Trump contradicts DOJ, says Powell probe 'not dropped'

TD19

"I control investigations" should be a level one trauma in a democracy, but ho hum

Kurt Risser 17

The president of the United States is such a fucking idiot. It makes us all cringe.

this is exactly why Powell should stay on as fed gov after his term as fed chair ends not only would it be a big FU to trump by preventing trump from filling the seat w another goon but it would provide additional leverage and protection for Powell until Feb 2028

Furious George13

Literally has zero experience in successful construction-to-sale of a building. He stop pays his subcontractors and his buildings either end up in receivership or sold to pay debt by an investor. Seriously, look it up.

He has NO IDEA what is going on nowadays.

Jo7

He completely forgot about it until this moment

He’s the world‘s most confident bullshitter, thanks to Roy Cohn and should get a prize for that! Deny deny deny attack attack attack and never admit, responsibility, that is his credo that he learned from Roy. But Donald and his father Fred lost that court case way back when

He only said it to get his lackey in. He will do it after. Powell will prolly stay until 28 when his term is up. Trump also apparently does not know about the group within thw fed who sets rates. The FOMC. Powell does not set them. Neither will Warsh. Stupiditis is a terrible malady.

To get past Tillis, they "dropped" the investigation until after the new guy gets confirmed. This is how they operate. They don't honor any deals.

Hopefully Thom Tillis is listening! Don’t support the confirmation of Warsh as the Trump regime will just reopen the case against Powell!

Mike Bloom4

Narrator: it was indeed dropped

Janet Corley3

Paging Tom Tillis. . .

That's not what his hand-picked prosecutor said. I guess she's going to get fired next.

MollyMcGee2

Wish he would fucking drop...after he clutches his fucking chest.

Susan Behrens2

I hope Senator Thom Tillis hears this and continues to hold up Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh for Federal Reserve Chair!

How can a ballroom go from costing $100M to $400M?

Lummus Cain15

Narrator: It was, in fact, dropped.

Jerome Powell is a great American hero. Good for this country that he’s not afraid of you nor of Pirro. He’s done nothing wrong unlike you and Pirro.

Lee K9

Hey #SenatorTillis you may want to check into this. Do not approve trump's Fed pick.

Nancy6

Leavitt says @federalreserve.gov Chair Powell is still under investgation.

Really Donnie? Sen. Thom Tillis might be interested in this statement.

carriedahl.bsky.social4

How to say “You’re getting fired” without saying “You’re getting fired.”

Mel Baggers4

So it’s “dropped” until Senator Thillis throws aaay his vote for Trump’s hack, then it’s back on.

LALadyInNC3

He's incapable of admitting defeat on any level due to his narcissism and megalomania. Also, he's probably senile and doesn't member shit, or they didn't inform him that the case was dropped. All the above.

***On April 24, 2026, the U.S.. Justice Department officially dropped its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The probe, led by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro into Fed building renovation costs, was closed following a federal judge's ruling that it lacked any evidence.

He has absolutely no idea what's going on
