Trump says it’s ‘highly unlikely’ he’ll fire Powell after suggesting otherwise in meeting

From CNN.

President Donald Trump said today it’s “highly unlikely” he would fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell after reports he was considering the move. But he offered an important caveat: “Unless he has to leave for fraud.” The comment came after multiple reports emerged that Trump had polled lawmakers yesterday on whether or not he should fire the chair.
