The United States Department of Justice recently opened, and later dropped, a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over his handling of renovations to the Federal Reserve buildings. This market will resolve to “Yes” if the United States Department of Justice reopens this criminal investigation of Powell, or opens a new criminal investigation of Powell, by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. If the United States federal government formally charges or announces a criminal indictment of Jerome Powell, this will also suffice for a “Yes” resolution. An official announcement from the United States Department of Justice that the investigation has been reopened, or that a new investigation against Powell has been opened, will be sufficient to resolve this market to “Yes”. Statements or reports that the Department of Justice is considering allegations or potential investigative action against Powell will not qualify, unless they explicitly indicate that a criminal investigation into Powell has been reopened or opened. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the United States Department of Justice, including any relevant United States Attorney’s Office; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.The Department of Justice closed its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on April 24, 2026, citing a referral to the Fed's inspector general for review of headquarters renovation cost overruns. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro stated the probe could restart if new facts emerge, while Senate Republican Thom Tillis had conditioned support for President Trump's nominee Kevin Warsh on ending the inquiry. This development removed a procedural barrier to Warsh's confirmation hearings and a potential leadership transition. No subsequent DOJ actions or major announcements have occurred since late April, leaving the inspector general review and any related congressional oversight as the primary factors that could influence whether the original investigation resumes before Powell's term concludes.
