Fed Chair Jerome Powell says he will not leave the Fed board until DOJ investigation concludes
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell announced Wednesday he would remain on the Fed's board of governors until the Justice Department investigation into him is completed, and would stay as chair until his successor is confirmed. Powell's statement came during a press conference after Trump nominated Kevin Warsh to replace him, but the confirmation has been delayed due to the ongoing DOJ probe. Senator Thom Tillis has said he will not vote to confirm any Fed nominees until the investigation is dropped.
