Planet Daily News: According to the Wall Street Journal, sources revealed that President Trump has been privately discussing the dismissal of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell for several months, but he has not yet made a final decision on whether to remove him before the end of his term next year. Sources said that at a meeting at Mar-a-Lago, Trump discussed with former Federal Reserve Board member Kevin Warsh the possibility of firing Powell before the end of his term and potentially choosing Warsh as his replacement. However, Warsh advised against firing Powell and suggested letting him complete his term without interference. U.S. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin also opposed Trump's intention to dismiss Powell.
