The White House is pushing back hard against accusations that President Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt making it crystal clear that the administration had nothing to do with the probe.
As news broke over the weekend about the DOJ's investigation into Powell, Democrats immediately went into their predictable meltdown mode, shrieking about "political retribution" and claiming Trump was trying to destroy the independence of the Federal Reserve. But the facts tell a different story.
Social media users are closely tracking the developments, with one posting confirmation that "White House's Leavitt confirms: Trump did not direct DOJ officials to investigate Federal Reserve Chair Powell." The post emphasized this as a crucial fact-check amid the swirling accusations.
This is classic Washington theater, folks. The same Democrats who weaponized every federal agency against Trump for years are now clutching their pearls when the Justice Department conducts what appears to be a legitimate investigation. Where was their concern about "independence" when the FBI was raiding Mar-a-Lago or when the DOJ was pursuing bogus prosecutions?
Deep State Corruption Runs Deep
The timing of this investigation raises serious questions about what Powell and his cronies at the Fed have been hiding. Americans have watched their savings decimated by inflation while the Federal Reserve played politics with interest rates, and now we're supposed to believe any investigation is automatically illegitimate?
"There are still former agents out there who can testify," one social media user noted, highlighting how evidence of corruption has a way of surfacing despite establishment cover-ups.
The reality is that Trump's hands-off approach to this investigation shows exactly the kind of proper separation between the White House and DOJ that Democrats claimed to want. But now that it's not serving their political interests, suddenly they're singing a different tune.
Patriots deserve answers about what's been happening at the Federal Reserve while working families struggled to put food on the table. If Powell has nothing to hide, he should welcome the investigation. The real question is: what are Democrats so afraid investigators might find?
