The investigation, which centers on renovations of the Federal Reserve’s headquarters in Washington, signals an escalation in the long-running clash between President Trump and the chair.

How is it dumb? Why would the markets tank over an investigation into him? Does this investigation change interest rates or monetary policy?

No they won't. I really wish some of you could get away fro this ridiculous notion that rooting out corruption is bad for the markets.

Good, I went to cash a couple of days ago pending the SCOTUS ruling on tariffs. Let it tank before I get back into stocks.

$2.5 BILLON renovation to Fed DC headquarters was revealed in July of 2025 as DOGE started to look at things.
Note that the Fed is self-funding and most of that money came from interest on securities.
The investigation is whether this is a misallocation of funds and if there were kickbacks (fraud) because DOGE estimated the renovations should be more than 1/2 of that $2.5 billion.
Noting that at least 2 Fed board members have now been prosecuted so there is a 'culture' pervasive in the system.
