Powell's speech had a curious line, relating to the investigation into the Fed. "“I have no intention of leaving the board until the investigation is well and truly over with transparency and finality.” There has been some chatter that when Powell leaves as Chair, he may revert back to being a board member. That would not be what trump wants.
