President Trump threatened to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell if he does not step down – adding that he has no intention of ending the government’s criminal investigation into him.
“I’ll have to fire him, okay, if he’s not leaving on time. I’ve held back firing him. I’ve wanted to fire him, but I hate to be controversial,” Trump told Fox Business’ “Mornings with Maria” in an interview scheduled to air Wednesday morning.
“I want to be uncontroversial. But he will be fired,” the president added.
