Hassett 'downplayed' the Department of Justice’s investigation into Powell in his speech tonight, calling it a simple request for information and stating that it was directed at the Federal Reserve. He believed there would be no significant issues with the investigation into Powell.

Trump then praised Hassett's speech, saying he performed well on TV and indicating that he is fit to remain in his current position.

Following the announcement, the probability of Kevin Warsh becoming the new Fed Chair rose to 58% on Polymarket, with a continued upward trend, while Hassett's probability dropped to 16%.

Hassett: So I’m the clown? 🤡🤡
