The U.S. Department of Justice has dropped its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over cost overruns at the central bank's headquarters renovation. The move, announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro on Friday, shifts scrutiny to the Fed's inspector general and clears a path for Senate confirmation of President Trump's nominee Kevin Warsh. The probe had been criticized as an effort to pressure Powell amid disputes over interest rates.

The US Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh as chair of the Federal Reserve on Wednesday to replace Jerome Powell. The vote followed a separate confirmation Tuesday for his role as a Fed governor.
