The Department of Justice has dropped its criminal investigation into the Federal Reserve and its chair, Jerome Powell.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's term is nearing its end while the Trump administration investigates him and a replacement seeks confirmation.

Powell has accused the DOJ of targeting him for refusing to obey Trump's demand that the Fed sharply lower interest rates.

The move clears the way for Kevin Warsh, Trump’s pick to replace Powell, to advance toward a Senate approval.

President Donald Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell had been effectively blocked because of the investigation.
