Jerome Powell blanchi par l'inspection de la Fed, nouvelle menace de Trump
L'inspection generale de la Reserve federale n'a trouve aucun motif raisonnable de poursuites penales contre Jerome Powell, mais Donald Trump reclame sa demission ou des poursuites.

L'inspection generale de la Reserve federale americaine a conclu, dans un rapport publie mercredi, qu'il n'existait pas de "motifs raisonnables" justifiant des poursuites penales contre Jerome Powell, ancien president de l'institution.
Cette conclusion intervient alors que Donald Trump maintient la pression sur celui qui occupe aujourd'hui un poste de gouverneur au sein de la Fed, estimant qu'il devrait etre "contraint de demissionner" ou, a defaut, "poursuivi".
Un rapport qui ne clot pas la polemique
Si le rapport de l'inspection generale ecarte la piste penale, il ne met pas fin aux critiques formulees par le president americain a l'encontre de Powell, qui reste une cible recurrente de ses attaques publiques.
L'administration americaine n'a pas precise si elle entendait, malgre les conclusions de l'inspection, poursuivre ses demarches visant Powell.
Tensions persistantes avec la Fed
Cet episode s'inscrit dans une relation de longue date marquee par les tensions entre Donald Trump et la Reserve federale, l'institution etant regulierement visee par ses critiques sur la conduite de la politique monetaire.
Le sort reserve a Jerome Powell au sein de la Fed reste incertain, dans un climat politique ou les pressions presidentielles continuent de s'exercer sur l'institution.
