Trump says Powell should ‘resign immediately’
- Trump demanded Powell resign immediately on Truth Social amid escalating feud and allegations of deceptive testimony, prompted by Pulte's investigation call.
- Following Trump’s rate criticism, Pulte called for Congress to investigate Powell’s deceptive Senate testimony about a $2.5 billion Fed HQ renovation, amid months-long frustration over steady interest rates.
- The 1935 US Supreme Court ruling restricts Fed chair removal to 'for cause,' and Powell states law forbids forced resignation, making his departure unlikely without misconduct.
- The Fed declined to comment on Trump’s call for Powell's resignation, while lawmakers like Jim Jordan consider investigations, and markets, including crypto, remain volatile.
- With Powell’s term lasting until May 2026 and legal protections in place, congressional investigations remain unlikely without cause, despite Trump’s repeated calls for resignation.
