😱🇺🇸 BREAKING: Fed Chair Powell FIGHTS BACK for the FIRST TIME! 📢

For the past 12 months, Jerome Powell has stayed completely silent in the face of nonstop criticism from President Trump. Whenever asked about Trump's attacks, his classic response was always: "No comment."

But today — everything changed.

Amid a shocking new criminal investigation launched by federal prosecutors (related to Fed building renovations and his congressional testimony), Powell dropped a bombshell statement:

"The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President."

Stock market futures dropped over -0.5% instantly after his powerful remarks! 📉

This comes right as the Fed is widely expected to PAUSE rate cuts again at the January 28 meeting.

With only about 6 months left in his term as Fed Chair, Powell is clearly drawing a line in the sand to defend the independence of the Federal Reserve! 💪

Trump vs. Powell — this epic showdown is set to bring even more market volatility ahead! ⚡
