Fed Official Miran Slams Commentary on Jerome Powell Indictment Threat
According to Reuters, Miran stated on January 14, 2026, that comments from foreign central banks concerning the indictment threats against Powell were "not appropriate." The statement marks a rare public friction between the world's most powerful monetary institutions, highlighting a deep-seated tension over the boundaries of central bank independence.
The controversy stems from escalating legal pressures on Chair Powell within the U.S. political landscape.
