President Trump has publicly pressured Powell and the Fed, supporting the investigation into what he terms 'incompetence'.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office is accused of trying to bypass judicial limits by conducting an unannounced 'tour' of the Federal Reserve headquarters renovation. The incident escalates a conflict between President Trump and Fed Chair Jerome Powell over alleged project mismanagement.

President Trump has threatened to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell if he does not resign by May 15, citing alleged mismanagement of a multi-billion dollar headquarters renovation. Right-leaning outlets like Fox Business and The Daily Caller focus on Trump's accusations of "incompetence" and his push for nominee Kevin Warsh. In contrast, left-leaning sources such as RawStory and MS NOW frame the ultimatum as a personal "vendetta" that faces significant judicial and legislative pushback.
