Trump Weighs Lawsuit Against Fed Chair Over Renovation

The White House denies President Trump plans to sue Fed Chair Powell over renovation costs of the Federal Reserve headquarters in Washington, D.C.

The claim lacks verification in primary sources, highlighting ongoing debates about construction costs and central bank independence.

Trump Targets Fed Leadership Over Renovation Costs

President Trump is considering taking legal action against Fed Chair Jerome Powell, as tensions rise over the renovation costs. The alleged consideration stems from dissatisfaction with the project’s management.

The renovation of the Federal Reserve’s Washington headquarters has led to increased costs, which the White House wants addressed. There is no primary-source evidence confirming a lawsuit. According to a Federal Reserve Board FAQ, “The FAQ describes the project purpose and scope; it does not mention litigation with the White House or DOJ, nor any presidential legal action against Chair Powell.”

No official statement confirms the President’s legal consideration. The market is monitoring for any new statements or actions that might influence economic policy or regulatory frameworks, as noted in the NCPC Review of Federal Reserve Project.
