The DOJ launches a criminal investigation of Powell. He responds on video.
Quartz reports Trump’s Department of Justice is investigating Fed Chair Jerome Powell
The Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation in Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, a staggering escalation of President Donald Trump’s almost year-long campaign to strong-arm the central bank into dramatically lowering interest rates.
Powell released a video statement on Sunday evening confirming the investigation. He said the DOJ had served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas on Friday related to testimony that Powell delivered to the Senate Banking Committee in June, regarding ongoing renovations of the Fed’s aging headquarters in Washington.
Until now, Powell has labored to avoid a direct confrontation with the White House in its scorched-earth effort to pressure the Fed into cutting borrowing costs. He was blunt on Sunday in assessing what was behind the subpoena.
“Those are pretexts,” Powell said. “The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President.”
Powell has long defended the Fed’s handling of the renovation. Trump and other White House officials seized on cost overruns to build a case to oust Powell. The president visited the site last July in what quickly turned into a televised spectacle. At one point, Powell corrected Trump on the price tag of the project.
The four-year renovation of two century-old buildings within the Fed’s headquarters swelled past its original $1.9 billion cost to $2.5 billion due to a variety of factors, including the unexpected drainage of groundwater from the construction site and the necessity of complying with federal guidelines governing historic building upgrades.
Powell Blasts Trump
Please consider a Statement from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell
Good evening.
On Friday, the Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas, threatening a criminal indictment related to my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June. That testimony concerned in part a multi-year project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings.
I have deep respect for the rule of law and for accountability in our democracy. No one—certainly not the chair of the Federal Reserve—is above the law. But this unprecedented action should be seen in the broader context of the administration’s threats and ongoing pressure.
This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. It is not about Congress’s oversight role; the Fed through testimony and other public disclosures made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President.
This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation.
I have served at the Federal Reserve under four administrations, Republicans and Democrats alike. In every case, I have carried out my duties without political fear or favor, focused solely on our mandate of price stability and maximum employment. Public service sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats. I will continue to do the job the Senate confirmed me to do, with integrity and a commitment to serving the American people.
Thank you.
The gall of this narcissist moron running the country is staggering.
I am not a Fed apologist. I do not think the Fed should exist. But the one thing worse than a Fed panel setting rates is State fools (from either party) setting them.
Powel’s response was just about perfect, and delivered with dignity. It is the first Fed speech in years (if ever) that I cheered.
With Trump’s recent moronic behavior, I not only expect Republicans to lose the midterm elections, I expect a potential blowout.
MAGA will vote for this moron, but he is going to massively lose independents, Hispanics, and all the marginal voters who decided the last election.
Trump’s incompetent ICE actions, inflation, Venezuela and Greenland idiocy, and now this will seal the fate. The world will cheer and so will I.
Meet the Acting President of Venezuela
Anyone in favor of sending him and Vance there to be fulltime President and Vice President?

Trump is a goldbug’s bestie.
Trump has acted as a kind of real world experiment. The hard-money, end-the-Fed crowd always raged against the Fed, but it turns out that the real threats to destroy the currency are politicians.
LBJ literally summoned the fed chair to his ranch and in a drunk rage pushed him up against the wall and slapped him around to lower rates while red blooded boys were dying in indochina. trump is a moron. biden back to raygun assholes too. get a grip kids. this evil empire has been crumbling with raging lunatics for decades. the people here who vote for D or R are the real lunatics. democracy works.
Guess Trump doesn’t know who he’s messing with. Powell could raise the short term rates 5 or more percent and tank the economy making sure the Republicans get drubbed in the midterms. Seriously though, there’s a simple legal method to remove Trump and Vance called impeachment and conviction. But the Republicans are more worried about holding their power than removing a clearly incompetent and dangerous administration.
the bankers would put a fatwa on powell.
The market will raise rates once it realizes how risk and return actually work. It has been subsidized since 2009–visible in any chart of Fed interest rates. A crack in derivatives is opening even as I type. If that $4 quadrillion dam breaks, it’s done.
Just when I think he can’t go any lower, now this outrageous threat to the independence of the Fed. Unbelievable. What’s next, we invade Greenland? Oh, he already said that he would.
What is wrong with that man, he is losing it. His staff should have a coup against him by decrying his undemocratic tactics. Where is the pushback from out congress?? Maybe they need to explore the law that allows removal of a president when he is mentally incompetent. I can’t believe that his cabinet and staff think what he is doing is rational or just.
That’s a shameful action.
What will actually matter in the elections is affordable rent, groceries and insurance, and whether society will feel optimistic or not.
Mish – I agree with you about Fed setting rates. But there is a place for the Fed in bank supervision and as an ultimate backstop when necessary to allow orderly closures.
The focus on trump in our culture is horrifying. What happened to congress? Where is the checks and balances? If one person can destabilize the country so easily, then the problem is our system, not a president.
Well, it can be both. But you are right – when did 35% of the country decide that the North Korean / Red China / Stalinist USSR models of cults of personality was a good thing? I can place the start, or at least the turning point, in 1996 with the combination of Fox News and Newt Gingrich.
I’d probably go back further to the reaction to the court cases in 1971 (Green v. Coit and Green v. Connolly) that gave rise to the modern anti-abortion political movement. Seemingly unrelated, they were the flashpoint back then that created the Moral Majority, which later was co-opted by the Alt Right and Trumpism. The reaction to those cases is what inspired the Heritage foundation to try to consolidate support by joining anti-abortion catholic voices, anti-tax conservatives, and pro-segregationist evangelicals. Note that up until that point, the official evangelical position on abortion leaned heavily pro-choice. The Heritage Foundation was smart enough to see how you could meld those disparate voices into one movement.
those evangelicals had been silent since the scopes monkey trial. you are correct, abortion brought them out of the hollers. they even got huge swaths of roman catholics on board with the jihad against women’s right to have an abortion or not. these are all just kooky symptoms of crumbling evil empire.
True, lots of Catholics are Christian nationalists. Just like their ancestors in the Inquisition and the Crusades.
People never change.
Great point. It would be nice to think that a party would try running on a message of cleaning up the system:
Surely this would be popular – but I don’t see any of this mentioned. The country seems hell-bent on a) money and b) “my side must win at all costs.”
The problem with the system is the American “first past the line” voting system. It is a system designed for a small group to control the government. Example: Suppose you have a voting district with 51% Republicans and 49% Democrats. Republican wins and automatically 49% of the voters views aren’t represented. But let’s look at just at the Republicans: suppose there are 4 initial candidates, a libertarian, MAGA chick, Christian conservative, and a business conservative. The MAGA chick gets 30% of the vote and the rest get 23% each. So the new elected official, the MAGA chick, really just represents .30 x .51 percent of the electorate or 15%. The solution is to combine electoral regions and then send the top two (or 3) vote getters instead of just one.
First past the post is a major problem.
Trump needs to lower interest rates so that inflation will jump. That will give him something to blame on Biden for the mid-terms.
Any Brnach of Gov messing with the Fed used to be – and should be – a sacrosanct non-starter. This is one of the most disturbing POLITICAL malpractice of my 65 yr life. Horribly bad precident. And sad too.
Truely Trump has lost it. We’ve got a Pathetic Leveraged Daily National Soap Opera now.

Anyone I think Trump and his minions have reached a new low, they manage to surprise.
it’s not possible to rationally deny thatTrump is a dictator willing to jail anyone who disagrees with him.
the hilarious thing is he now wants to support the Iranian protesters, meanwhile he hates US protesters to his policy and when a US citizen is killed he labels her a domestic terrorist.
Dementia and narcissism are a helluva combo.
The US is bordering on banana republic status.

The electronic currency and brokerage and bank accounts can be inflated or deflated away to even worse percentages of losses. Has been the case in recent past empires and run of the mill banana republics. GOD GOLD AND GUNS. THE FIRST ITEM IS IN THE FICTION SECTION OF YOUR HOME LIBRARY
Anyone who thinks for a moment that opposing Trump on this issue is TDS needs to take not only a good look in the mirror at their TWS, but also a good look at their moral code and fiber.
If you support this prosecution, you are inviting the vampires to sink their teeth in your neck.
Is love of one’s country sworn allegiance to its leader or its collective values? Can it be both when they don’t agree?
I think it is interesting that mention of TDS has significantly reduced as only a dwindling few people think that it is deranged to criticise him anymore.
all empires crumble. we are well over our ripe date. seen this in real time in Russia in 90s. good luck girls and boys. get a plan. have durable assets in multiple countries. and don’t believe the hooey coming out of your very evil imperial warmongering main stream media. if you want to survive financially in tact. good luck all.
The system is in failure mode. Neither party has the interests of the country. Bullying the fed is horrible. Politicians always want short term patches masquerading as solutions. An independent fed is essential; I don’t want the likes of Trump dictating fed policy.
trump must g arrest him for treason.

In EU we had Draghi’s bazooka 12 years ago, the US is going to have Trump’s bazooka in 2026 if Trump manages to push Powell away. Draghi lowered rates to zero to save Italy from bankruptcy, Trump is going to do the same with the US. It is not about FED, it is about financial survival of federal government. Don’t forget that he announced $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget and that his tariffs will likely be judged as illegal. DOGE was a flop, it is time to lower the rates to zero. 10% credit card ceiling is there to create pressure on FED. I wonder how many people undestand that 10% ceiling is going to stop flow of consumer credit and that will push the economy to recession. An elephant dancing in a China cupboard.
I believe Federal bureaucrats should have immunity from prosecution for supposed wrongdoings. We all know that they are selfless, diligent and hardworking. Their integrity, honesty and nonpartisanship are well-known and recognized by the American people as well as by foreign governments and their only goal is the well-being of the United States. I agree with Mish. It is absurd to think that any of them and especially Powell could ever have done anything wrong therefore an investigation is not necessary and a waste of money.
They cannot do anything wrong! They have been sent by God to do His work for His people after all. That’s what they said after the Great Recession, and why on earth would they lie about something so important?
Doug your breath smells like boot leather, are you ok
Can the Heimlich maneuver dislodge a jackboot?
I wrote a satiric piece to test whether this blog is worth commenting in. I can see that 95% have the same view as Mish so there is little room for dialogue.
Did you forget an /s at the end of your praise?
give me a break. no one really believes Powell did anything wrong in relation to this. This is 100% transparently venal and retaliatory.
I mean, Trump is literally tearing down the WH to make it in his cheesy, gilded image and he got private donors to fund part of it as if funding a president’s vanity projects is anything other than a bribe.
These are historic figures for typical rennovations in the area:
New-build commercial offices (no security, no historic constraints):
$500–$900 per sq ft
Secure federal buildings / historic cores:
$1,500–$2,500+ per sq ft is common
The Fed comes in at $1,900-$2,000.
Also worth noting that the plans were put in place before Powell was put in place and signed off. Trump could have complained during his first term but didn’t. Stating the obvious – this has absolutely nothing to do with cost overruns.

And an even smaller brain

Trump has about six months to cement in people’s minds that the words “Democrat” and “fraud” are synonymous. If he can do that, the Democrats won’t have a chance, assuming the US populace still abhors fraud. Unfortunately, I’m beginning to believe they now celebrate it.
I went to a 40 year high school reunion recently, and of the 18 people I talked to who were my closest friends, 16 were getting a large chunk of their business revenue from government programs, and for seven of the people, they were direct government employees, and hence 100% dependent on the largess of government. No one wants the fake job bureaucracy to cease, it seems, since their livelihood depends on it.
Raise taxes and the Democrats will just waste that revenue on more Birdbrain Biden-style spending like +$40 billion per year in student loan forgiveness handouts.
Trump has to at least slow the increase in annual deficits in order to reduce the debt to GDP ratio and to reduce debt service payments as a percentage of tax receipts.
My fingers are crossed, as I am reading the 2025 deficit at least is about the same as the 2024 deficit. I consider 2024 as not being an outlier such as COVID spending.
So 2025 will be the first year the deficit has not increased since 2001.
And what do you call a 60% increase in the Defense budget when we already spend more than the next 10 countries combined? Necessary?
How do you feel about $160B for ICE? Or $4T in tax breaks for billionaires?
that is coast to coast. wall street is GSE. as are working class and upper middle class hoods. the MICC wired the empire this way. the people voted for it all. long live pax dumbfuckistan. who are we gonna bomb in 2026, kids? it’s jobs
“Assuming the US population still abhors fraud.“
Somehow I remember that the US population elected a convicted fraudster to be president.
He made fraud accepted and common, just like Clinton did for blowies.
I think Clinton did us better.
Fraudster, convicted felon, and most likely a pedophile, also a very good christian according to most evangelicals. Yep he’s a MAGA hero of the finest kind.
In the not so distant future, Our Great Leader will direct his Air Force to start bombing American cities that he perceives are against him. MAGA will cheer this display of force and salute their king. No Republicans in Congress will murmur a word against this madman. Like Nero he will fiddle while Rome burns.

He is surrounded by careerist fools who tell him daily he’s the greatest being on earth since Jesus.
So now he feels he is bound only by his own “morality”.

And Congress will make speeches.
And the media ratings will be fantastical!!!
Why are the renovations 2.5 billion dollars? That’s kind of crazy, you can build a couple of skyscrapers for that amount.
There is probably something underground where people could survive for decades after nuclear fallout. Building those types of things deep underground is more expensive than a skyscraper.
There is one great truism for contractors — how much it costs is proportional to how wealthy the customer is. The more money the customer has, the higher the group of contactors bid submissions will be. And no one has more money than The Fed.

BINGO. life long r/e investor in 100 and 200 year old wrecks of houses we renovated over the past 40 years.

and people got BATSHiIT CRAZY ABUT $ 3 BIL AID FOR Israel.per year

This kind of thing, trying to replace the fed chair with someone who will lower rates so people dont even get a short term rate even with inflation, along with possibly underreporting inflation so that TIPS and i bond holders dont get fully compensated, plus inflation in general, is what happens when the US national debt gets too high, which was and is still being caused by both major parties overspending like crazy. So people should be aware of that when they go and vote, that the only party on the ballot for a balanced budget is Libertarian. If you vote R or D, you are voting for inflation. And Powell has been a terrible fed chair for monetizing the govts overspending (money printing) and suppressing mortgage and long term treasury rates, but that isnt why trump is trying to get rid of him. Trump wants to do the same bad monetary policy as powell, just even worse than powell. Trumps idea, to add yet another 200 billion to the debt to buy MBS, sucks. The problem with the housing market is high prices, not rates, and Trumps scheme, which is supported by nearly all the Republicans and Democrats, because they are nearly all debt mongers, is an attempt to keep prices high.
well stated
I agree that spending wise there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans. The difference is in the amount of damage each party is willing to do to internal institutions, allies and US democracy in general. And I believe that the current administration scores worst of all times on all of these.
i’d invest in a history book. see ww2, great depression. 1970s. civil war era. and the original revolutionary currency went teats up.
Even Andrew Jackson, probably the best analog to Trump, acknowledged that, as President, he was constrained by the Constitution and bound to defend and protect it. Trump has jumped the shark this second term. He is actively daring the two other “coequal” branches of Government to check his power. On the international stage, he is completely unconstrained by treaties, alliances, and international institutions that the United States actually formed. He is literally destroying 100 years of blood, sweat, and diplomacy that the United States has invested to create a world in the image of our view of the rule of law and unalienable rights.
Imagine the mayhem if Trump is impeached again, the tariffs are rejected by the Supreme Court and someone releases the unreacted Epstein files and Trump and a few of his inner circle are all over them.
As if what is going on is not crazy enough!
Gold has bumped through its all time record and hit $4,612. Silver is above $83.50 at the moment so as Mish says, confidence in the Fed is almost as stretched as confidence in Trump,
But to be clear, I have far more faith in the Fed than Trump. And yes, I have read The Creature From Jekyl Island.
he’ll invade and go to war against CA etc…………if that happens.
this will just keep getting crazier. 3 more years of this insanity.
Seems all the trump drops seems to be on the weekends these days. Wonder if its so he can get ahead of the media using truth social. Etc.
Yes.
I just want to scream at my country, WAKE THE FUCK UP! The United States is being undermined from within. “THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.”
Either the majority of Trump voters are completely blind and clueless, or they actually want the nation weakened at home and abroad. Sadly, I am beginning to lean toward the latter.
There is an astonishing amount of stupid out there.
Most trump voters hate America as they hate themselves for being such losers.
Exactly! We are allowing this to happen to ourselves. Americans are conflicted about what they know is right and their wallets/money.
Its time to do the right thing instead of being a bunch of spoiled entitled brats
The video of Powell looks AI generated.
“The gall of this narcissist moron running the country is staggering.”
I wouldn’t necessarily classify Trump as a narcissist but oh my goodness is he an egomaniac, in fact I would go further, he is the worst sort of egomaniac, he is a very thin skinned egomaniac. This is a good example, because the CEO of ExxonMobil has questions and concerns about Trumps Venezuelan Oil plans, Trump is now pouting and threatening to keep them out of Venezuela.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-inclined-keep-exxonmobil-venezuela-004509652.html
As the CEO of ExxonMobil snickers. trump is doing him a favor. If VZ is a success he can claim trump kept Exxon out, if it’s a failure (most likely) he will claim he was smart for not going in. win/win

Exxon says Venezuela “univestable”
Trump pissed:
President Trump said on Sunday that he is inclined to keep oil giant Exxon Mobil out of deals regarding Venezuela following the CEO’s skeptical response to future investment in the South American country.
“I’d probably be inclined to keep Exxon out,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One en route to Washington, D.C.
“I didn’t like their response. They’re playing too cute,” he added.
Exxon ( Rockefeller fame) was around for 100+ years.
this shall pass
Exxon back to Trump :
Don’t threaten me with a good time
Excellent news for Exxon then. Why would anyone want to be associated with another Trump failure.
They know Tillerson was right about him. Nothing to do now but wait out the stupid.
Well, Tillerson was in the oil biz.

The guy who wants a $500B increase in military spending pretends to care about a 1/2 Billion cost overrun.
And there is no way the military is going to be able to spend all that money in a year. Let alone ACCOUNT for it when audited. The hungry hippos named Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Sierra Nevada, General Dynamics, Raytheon, etc., *and* their thousands of suppliers, don’t have the ability to deliver another $500B in products or services without major capital expenditures and hiring binges, which will take years to come online. Even if they say they can/will, their eyes are bigger than their stomachs.
You can bet that ICE can spend it rounding up Americans that do not want to live under a fascist dictator?
Ondas Holdings sells killer drones for the American market and is totally connected to our military, Israel and its security techniques and network.
