Trump denies plans to fire Fed chairman - despite what he told Republicans

WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump denied Wednesday that he plans to fire Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell after telling Republican lawmakers he would likely make the move.

"No, I'm not talking about that. Fortunately, we get to make a change in the next eight months or so," Trump told reporters on July 16 during an Oval Office meeting with the crown prince of Bahrain.

Trump informed Republican lawmakers in an Oval Office meeting Tuesday night that he planned to likely soon fire Powell after polling them on what he should do, a senior White House official told USA TODAY.

"Almost all of them said I should, but I'm more conservative," Trump said, calling new reports that he plans to fire Powell "not true."
