On January 12, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell responded to a criminal investigation. Powell stated that the reason he might face criminal charges is because the Fed's interest rate decisions are based on economic assessments rather than political will. The key issue moving forward is whether the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions will continue to be evidence-based or succumb to political influence and coercion. Powell said he has always performed his duties impartially and will continue to do so. Respect for the rule of law is important, but being criminally charged is unprecedented, and this is a sign of broader threats from the current US government against the Federal Reserve.

1 月 12 日，美联储主席鲍威尔回应遭刑事调查。鲍威尔表示，之所以可能面临刑事指控，是因为美联储的利率是基于经济评估，而不是政治意愿。未来的关键问题在于美联储的利率决策是否会继续以证据为依据，还是会屈服于政治影响和胁迫。鲍威尔称，本人一直公正地履行职责，并将继续秉持这种做法。尊重法律权威，但遭刑事指控史无前例，这是本届美国政府对美联储发出更广泛威胁的前兆。
