President Trump has backed off of his threats to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell — for now. The president appeared to reach a breaking point with Powell last week when he told Republican lawmakers he would likely be nixing the Fed chair soon.

President Trump asked Republican lawmakers how they felt about firing Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and they expressed approval for the firing, people familiar with the discussion said.

The news was first reported by Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter, which said Trump discussed the plan with GOP lawmakers in Congress on Tuesday.

Privately, White House officials acknowledge uncertainty about Trump firing Powell solely based on accusations he mismanaged a multi-year renovation project.
