Trump wants his face on the $250 bill: the prototype is already ready at the Treasury.
First, there was the idea of building a giant arch 76 meters tall to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, then the disappointment of the ballroom at the White House, which will not receive any federal funding. Now Donald Trump is also considering dedicating a $250 bill. As revealed by the Washington Post, the US administration is putting pressure on the United States Mint to design the new currency with the tycoon’s portrait at the center. However, by law, only deceased people can appear on currency.
According to internal sources of the WP, in recent months the White House has increased pressure on the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the agency responsible for creating new currency. The initiative promoted by two high-ranking Treasury officials, Treasury Secretary Brandon Breach and Advisor Mike Brown, however, has encountered internal resistance for legal and procedural reasons, even though it has overcome the technical hurdle that Trump is still alive, any new issuance requires congressional approval. The president, it is reported, is determined to get what he wants, to the point that the director of the office responsible for printing, Patricia Solimene, was reassigned from the end of last month after reporting the regulatory obstacles and the time required for the eventual creation of the new bill.
The project includes the preparation of prototypes and graphic drafts with Trump’s face at the center of the bill, accompanied by symbolic elements such as the colors of the American flag and references to the anniversary of the founding of the United States. The graphic work was also carried out by British painter Iain Alexander, who, according to the WP, limited himself to approving modifications to the original project, including the inclusion of some details such as the logo celebrating July 4th. Alexander stated that Trump loves to call him “his favorite British artist.” In any case, the law that prohibits this practice remains in place: it has been 150 years since the last time a living person was imprinted on currency in the history of the United States. This was a Treasury official who appeared on the five cents, certainly not the level Trump is aiming for, rather drawing inspiration from figures of the caliber of George Washington (on the $1 bill), Thomas Jefferson (2 dollars) or Abraham Lincoln (5 dollars).
The practice was banned in 1866 but a year ago, on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the country's birth, a proposal to Congress brought it back into vogue. In February 2025, Congressman Joe Wilson (Republican from South Carolina) presented a bill that would have required the Secretary of the Treasury to “print $250 bills from the Federal Reserve with the portrait of Donald Trump.” The bill was assigned to the Financial Services Committee of the House, but it has not yet been discussed: however, the government has informed that the Treasury is evaluating the proposal. If the “Trump bill” does not go ahead, the president still has a plan B: preliminary activities are underway to print new $100 bills with the tycoon’s signature.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: La procura Usa chiude l’indagine sul presidente della Fed Jerome Powell. Via libera alla conferma di Warsh come successore
La procura americana ha annunciato di voler abbandonare le indagini sul presidente della Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, finito nel mirino di Donald Trump che lo ha accusato di eccessiva “timidezza” nel tagliare i tassi e poi sotto inchiesta per i presunti costi lievitati dei piani di ristrutturazione della sede della Banca centrale Usa. Viene così rimosso l’ostacolo che aveva bloccato la conferma di Kevin Warsh come suo successore.
La procuratrice federale di Washington, Jeanine Pirro, ha comunicato la decisione in un post su X, aggiungendo che sarà l’Ispettore Generale della Fed a esaminare “attentamente” le spese (“dell’ordine di miliardi”) per i lavori nella sede della Fed, “sostenuti dai contribuenti”. “Mi aspetto un rapporto esaustivo in tempi brevi e confido che l’esito contribuirà a risolvere, una volta per tutte, le questioni che hanno indotto questo Ufficio a emettere mandati di comparizione”, ha concluso Pirro, procuratrice del District of Columbia, la capitale Usa. “Si noti bene, tuttavia, che non esiterò a riaprire un’indagine penale qualora i fatti lo rendessero necessario”.
Un giudice federale aveva già stabilito che le citazioni a comparire dinanzi al Gran Giurì, notificate alla Fed nel mese di gennaio, erano improprie, rilevando inoltre la presenza di “prove essenzialmente nulle” riguardo a fatti penalmente rilevanti. Da parte democratica e anche da settori repubblicani era stata chiesta l’archiviazione dell’indagine, prima di procedere alla conferma della nomina di Warsh come nuovo presidente della Banca Centrale. Per essere confermato in commissione ha bisogno di ottenere il voto della maggioranza dei suoi membri, 13 repubblicani e 11 democratici.
Nei giorni scorsi il repubblicano Thom Tills aveva annunciato di voler bloccare la conferma della nomina se il dipartimento di Giustizia non avesse archiviato l’inchiesta. Lo scorso anno Tills ha rinunciato a ricandidarsi dopo essere finito nel mirino degli attacchi e insulti di Trump per aver votato contro il ‘Big, beautiful bill’.

The US Justice Department closes the investigation into Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. Green light given for Warsh’s confirmation as successor.
The U.S. Justice Department has announced it intends to drop its investigation into the president of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, who had been the target of accusations by Donald Trump of “excessive timidity” in cutting interest rates and subsequently investigated for allegedly inflated costs of the U.S. Central Bank’s headquarters renovation plans. This removes the obstacle that had blocked the confirmation of Kevin Warsh as his successor.
U.S. Attorney for Washington, Jeanine Pirro, announced the decision in a post on X, adding that the Fed’s General Inspector will “carefully” examine the expenses (“in the billions”) for the work at the Fed headquarters, “funded by taxpayers.” “I expect a comprehensive report in a short time and I trust that the outcome will contribute, once and for all, to resolve the issues that led this Office to issue subpoenas,” Pirro concluded, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, the nation’s capital. “However, I will not hesitate to reopen a criminal investigation if the facts warrant it.”
A federal judge had already ruled that the subpoenas issued to the Grand Jury, served to the Fed in January, were improper, noting the presence of “substantially null evidence” regarding matters of criminal relevance. Demands for the investigation’s closure had come from both the Democratic and Republican sides, prior to proceeding with Warsh’s confirmation as the new head of the Central Bank. To be confirmed in committee, he needs the vote of a majority of its members, 13 Republicans and 11 Democrats.
In recent days, Republican Thom Tillis had announced he would block the confirmation of the appointment if the Department of Justice did not close the investigation. Last year, Tillis had withdrawn his candidacy after being the target of attacks and insults from Trump for voting against the “Big, beautiful bill.”
