(FILES) US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell speaks during a press conference following the Federal Open Market Committee meeting at the Federal Reserve Board Building in Washington, DC, on March 18, 2026. US prosecutor Jeanine Pirro dropped a criminal probe involving Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on April 24, 2026 clearing the way for his replacement's confirmation amid concerns over President Donald Trump's attacks on the independent central bank. In a social media post, Pirro said the inspector general for the Fed would instead look into renovation cost overruns. "Accordingly, I have directed my office to close our investigation."
