The DOJ's April 2026 decision to drop its criminal investigation into Powell's congressional testimony on Federal Reserve headquarters renovations—without filing charges—remains the dominant factor anchoring the 98.5% market-implied probability that he will not face jail time before 2027. With the probe quashed by a federal judge for lack of evidence and Powell's subsequent transition from chair to Board governor through 2028, traders view any renewed legal exposure as negligible. Historical precedent of independent central bank officials avoiding personal liability absent clear misconduct reinforces this consensus. Tail-risk scenarios include highly improbable future political retaliation or unrelated civil matters escalating, though both lack supporting filings or credible timelines.
