2:03:01Now PlayingTrump is going after Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Trump’s Department of Justice is opening a criminal investigation involving Powell — an unprecedented move threatening the Fed’s independence.
The issue concerns Powell’s congressional testimony and a Federal Reserve renovation project, but critics say the bigger problem is political pressure on an institution designed to operate free from partisan control.
On The Mark Thompson Show, we break down what this investigation really means — for markets, for the economy, and for the future of independent governance in the United States.
iHeart radio and television political analyst Gary Dietrich will join to talk politics.
The brilliant scholar and author Sarah Kendzior will stop by to look deeper into Trump’s actions.
…and Mo Kelly is in the Captain’s Chair.
