Trump contradicts DOJ, says Powell probe 'not dropped'
President Trump told reporters 'it's not dropped,' contradicting the Justice Department's announcement that it had ended its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The Justice Department said it dropped the criminal probe into Powell, a move that clears the way for Kevin Warsh to become the next Federal Reserve chair. Trump's public contradiction injects political uncertainty into the Fed leadership transition and could complicate Warsh's confirmation and the perception of DOJ independence.
Trump ordered the criminal investigation to be dropped against Jerome Powell to pave the way for his “sock-puppet” nominee Kevin Warsh. Just goes to show the DOJ has zero independence in this Trump Regime.
72Lobo and Kool Louie (R.I.P.)2Please hang in there Jerome!
Ringo Burns2It shows just how dysfunctional the Trump regime is.
Nick SomethingGreek2If you can’t be independent enough to say Trump lost the 2020 election…..
LottesEnkelin2Reject Warsh. resist.bot/petitions/PF... #resistbot #Warsh #bluecrew #Epstein @resist.bot
snowmando.bsky.social2Clearly the Jerome Powell investigation was created specifically for this purpose … ie just to be used to push Warsh through ….
land26.bsky.social2the master of the art of the steal deal, has been the cover-up puppet for the pro25 authoritarian implementation creating chaos everywhere, sadly to the detriment and death of far to many innocent people here and around the world
Q: "Do you agree with the decision by Jeanine Pirro to drop the investigation into Jerome Powell?" Trump: "It's not dropped. They're looking into the whole thing."
Doobie Dawg58Thom Tillis needs to continue his holdout if that is the case
Lummus Cain29Narrator: It was, in fact, dropped.
gcm5.bsky.social23Jerome 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 K21Hey #SenatorTillis you may want to check into this. Do not approve trump's Fed pick.
Mel Baggers12So it’s “dropped” until Senator Thillis throws aaay his vote for Trump’s hack, then it’s back on.
evryv0t3.bsky.social11Really Donnie? Sen. Thom Tillis might be interested in this statement.
Nancy10Leavitt says @federalreserve.gov Chair Powell is still under investgation.
LALadyInNC7He'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.
Neil Gerardo6***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.
Chucky Dub4Master at shooting himself in the foot
carriedahl.bsky.social4How to say “You’re getting fired” without saying “You’re getting fired.”
Irishwhisky24 🇮🇪🇺🇸3He has absolutely no idea what's going on
