The abrupt dismissal of the Department of Justice criminal probe into Jerome Powell’s congressional testimony on Federal Reserve headquarters renovations in April 2026 underpins the 97.2% market-implied odds against his imprisonment before 2027. A federal judge quashed related subpoenas, citing insufficient evidence of any crime beyond policy disagreements, while the investigation yielded no charges and shifted to the Fed’s inspector general. This outcome aligns with longstanding norms protecting central bank independence, reinforced by Powell’s term ending in May 2026 without further legal exposure. Tail risks remain limited to improbable scenarios such as politically motivated new filings lacking judicial support or extraordinary post-tenure developments, though historical precedent and current absence of proceedings make such paths remote.
