A Senate Republican is calling for Jerome Powell to step down as Fed Chair, suggesting it could help derail an ongoing DOJ investigation into his leadership. The Justice Department is currently examining Powell over two key issues: the Federal Reserve's massive $2.5 billion headquarters modernization project and statements he made during congressional testimony. The political pressure is intensifying as lawmakers debate the Fed's direction and spending priorities. This development could have broader implications for monetary policy and how the central bank navigates both internal scrutiny and market expectations in the coming months.
