A group of Republican senators fired back at the Trump administration as the Justice Department targets Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell with a criminal probe.
The investigation could lead to GOP lawmakers blocking the president installing his picks on the Fed going forward.

Powell warned in a remarkable video that it’s really about the Fed’s independence.
