The DOJ dropped its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over the Fed's $2.5 billion headquarters renovation on April 24, 2026, after a federal judge found "essentially zero evidence" of a crime and called the probe a pressure campaign to influence interest rate policy. President Trump then vowed to continue investigating the renovation, which has seen costs rise 92% from the original $1.3 billion estimate, as the fight over Fed independence intensifies ahead of Kevin Warsh's confirmation to replace Powell as chair.
