Top Betting Markets July 17: Will Trump Fire Jerome Powell, Epstein Files, More

US President Donald Trump reportedly told Republican lawmakers he planned to fire Chair of the Reserve, Jerome Powell, but claimed otherwise during a press conference on Wednesday. Under the Federal Reserve Act, the Fed Chair (like all Board members) can only be removed “for cause”. Trump has touched on the idea that Powell may have misappropriated funds for the upgrading of an office, but it remains to be seen whether the president will carry through with pursuing this matter any further. Powell has just under a year left on his four-year term.
