The Justice Department's investigation into Jerome Powell, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, has taken a new turn. The inquiry was sparked by concerns about Powell's communication style and his handling of sensitive information.
According to sources close to the matter, President Trump had met with military officials in late December to discuss possible options for dealing with Iran. The meeting reportedly included a briefing on potential military strikes against Iranian targets.
While it is unclear at this point what specific actions might be considered by the administration, one thing is certain: Powell's role as the head of the Federal Reserve has put him squarely in the crosshairs of controversy.
Trump himself has been vocal about his displeasure with Powell and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. The President has repeatedly criticized the Fed for not doing enough to stimulate economic growth.
As tensions between the US and Iran continue to escalate, it remains to be seen how this situation will play out. One thing is clear: Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve are at the center of a maelstrom that threatens to engulf the nation's capital.
However, Trump briefed on military options for Iran as protests continued; sources say.
It appears that President Trump was aware of the possibility of military action against Iran before the protests began. The meeting with military officials in late December may have been an attempt to explore this option further.
Meanwhile, Jerome Powell is facing scrutiny from lawmakers and pundits alike over his handling of the situation. Critics argue that the Fed's monetary policy has contributed to rising inflation, while others see it as a necessary measure to stabilize the economy.
Whatever happens next, one thing is certain: the Federal Reserve and its chairman will be at the center of attention for weeks to come.
In this episode of The Takeout with Major Garrett, we'll dive deeper into the world of politics and explore what's really going on behind the scenes.

I'm thinking, have we been sleepwalking towards a bigger crisis? It seems like everyone's rushing to make decisions without taking a step back to consider the long-term consequences. Powell's at the center of it all, but what about the Fed's role in creating this mess? We're so focused on economic growth that we forget there's a human cost to our actions. What if we were to take a deep breath and ask ourselves: are we really doing what's best for everyone involved? 
i mean like he cant even talk right or somethin lol jk but seriously his communication style has got ppl spooked esp after that meeting w/ trump & mil sec folks in dec btw what's good w/ inflation rite? u feel me? povell gotta get some facts straight 4 once 
Trump's all over him, and now it seems like he was already planning something before those protests even started... that's a bit suspicious if you ask me 
. What's next, Powell gonna be questioned by Congress too? 
Anyway, this whole thing is just super unsettling.
we need economic stability not a war 
. personally, think it's crazy that he briefed on military options before protests even started 
. what's next? 
anyway, gotta keep an eye on this whole situation and see how powell handles it 
Either way, it's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out 
️
i mean powell's gotta be worried about how this will affect the economy, and not just inflation either, i'm thinking trade wars and all that jazz 
it's like, super messy! so trump is being all dramatic about the fed not doing enough to stimulate economic growth, but now we're finding out he was already planning some kind of military strike against iran before those protests even started
