- The Justice Department terminated its inquiry into Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell’s building renovations.
- Oversight responsibility shifts to the Fed’s inspector general, removing a key obstacle for Kevin Warsh’s appointment.
- Senator Tillis had opposed Warsh’s confirmation until the investigation was closed; Powell’s term concludes May 15.
- During Senate testimony, Warsh affirmed his independence from Trump and denied committing to interest rate cuts.
Prosecutors had produced 'essentially zero evidence' to suspect Powell of a crime.— Judge James Boasberg, at a closed-door court hearing in March
