Justice Department not reopening criminal probe into Fed's Powell

Original: Blanche says DOJ is not reopening criminal probe into Fed’s Powell, Bloomberg News reports

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Justice Department is not reopening a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, according to Bloomberg News. The statement follows earlier scrutiny of Powell by the Trump administration over the Fed's headquarters renovation and interest rate policy, and will be watched closely for what it means for the central bank's independence.

Why now: It addresses tensions between the Trump administration and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, a politically sensitive topic.
