The Federal Reserve’s Jerome Powell announced this week he plans to remain on the board after his chairmanship ends in mid-May. Powell said he will stay on as a Fed governor “for a period of time, to be determined.” And he said he plans to keep a “low profile.” Powell said he decided to remain on the board because of the “unprecedented” legal attacks by the Trump administration, which he believes have put the independence of the nation’s central bank at risk.
Former FBI Director James Comey says he’ll fight a Justice Department indictment that he threatened President Trump’s life. Comey appeared in federal court in Virginia this past week, turning himself in on two charges, including threatening the life of the president and transmitting threats across state lines. The DOJ charges stem from a photo of seashells he posted online last year. The former FBI director did not speak during his brief court appearance, but has said he is innocent. His attorney, Patrick Fitzgerald, said he would argue that the case is a vindictive prosecution, meaning it was brought to punish Comey for exercising his legal rights.
