Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said he plans to stay at the central bank until after the Justice Department’s investigation is complete.

“I have no intention of leaving the board until the investigation is well and truly over, with transparency and finality,” Powell said Wednesday at a press conference.

His comments marked the first time Powell has given any public indication that he intends to continue serving his term as a governor, which runs until 2028, after his term as chair expires in May. Speculation he would do so has increased in recent months amid a government probe into the US central bank.

The DOJ in January issued subpoenas to the Fed as part of an investigation into cost overruns in a building renovation project. In a statement at the time, Powell called the reasons for the investigation pretexts and said the probe was really triggered by the Fed’s refusal to set interest rates based on President Donald Trump’s demands.

The subpoenas were blocked by a federal judge earlier this month, but the DOJ said it would appeal that decision.

Powell Says No Plans to Leave Fed Until Investigation Over

There’s been a lot of negative media around “private credit,” but most of that conversation is focused on leveraged corporate lending. Real estate credit is a different market — loans are asset-backed and underwritten to hard collateral. We’re in the middle of a significant housing shortage in the U.S., particularly in major urban markets like New York. That structural demand continues to support new housing development and well-located multifamily assets. There’s increasing attention from policymakers around housing affordability and supply, including proposals from figures like Zohran Mamdani. Regardless of the political approach, there’s broad recognition that more housing needs to be built and that capital will be needed to support that supply.

Ran Eliasaf is Founder and Manager Partner of Northwind Group, an institutional real estate credit platform focused on lending and structured financing for commercial real estate and healthcare assets. Since its founding in 2008, the firm has transacted on more than $9 billion of real estate across over 400 properties and originated approximately $4 billion of loans secured by more than 300 properties, with zero principal losses across its debt investments to date. Ran speaks with Bloomberg's Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec.
