Fed Chair Jerome Powell 'Considering Resigning': Report

Bill Pulte, the chair of US government-backed mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, posted on X that he heard “reports” of Powell wavering about finishing his term — without providing any evidence.

“I think this will be the right decision for America, and the economy will boom,” the former journalist and private equity titan said.

“Why would you stay at a party when no one wants you there?” the source added.

A senior administration official told The Post that the string of broadsides launched at the 72-year-old Powell were part of a game of “4D chess” being played by the commander-in-chief and his allies, designed to pressure him into resigning.

The comments also drew scrutiny from the Office of Management and Budget chief Russ Vought on Thursday.

The White House spending watchdog took Powell to task for the glorified vanity project, which saw its costs balloon by 30% — from the original estimate of $1.9 billion.

“The President is extremely troubled by your management of the Federal Reserve System,” Vought wrote in a letter to Powell first obtained by The Post.

“Instead of attempting to right the Fed’s fiscal ship, you have plowed ahead with an ostentatious overhaul of your Washington DC headquarters,” he wrote.

But one White House insider insisted that Powell was going nowhere.

“There are no plans to change the Fed chair,” the senior source said.
