The Department of Justice closed its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s oversight of headquarters renovations on April 24, 2026, transferring the matter to the Fed’s inspector general after a March court ruling blocked key subpoenas. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro stated she would not hesitate to restart the probe if the inspector general’s findings warrant it, while signaling intent to appeal prior judicial limits. Powell has reiterated he will remain on the Board until the review reaches full transparency and finality. Recent statements in early May have kept the prospect of resumption alive pending the inspector general report, directly shaping trader assessments of whether renewed DOJ action occurs by any near-term deadline.
