Trump also named two close aides to an obscure commission who plan to review the Federal Reserve building plans another avenue to increase scrutiny on Powell, whose eight-year term formally ends next May. This follows a near-daily drumbeat of criticism that Trump has leveled at Powell, whom he has disparaged as a very stupid person who should resign immediately.
