NEW: Treasury Sec @stevenmnuchin1 claims Trump said that he “totally disagrees” w Fed policy but “I never suggested firing Chairman Jay Powell, nor do I believe I have the right to do so.”

Very odd to have Mnuchin broadcast Trump’s (false) denial. Clearly meant to calm markets. pic.twitter.com/0JBsuKWsKd

“Nor do I believe I have the right to do so.”
If anyone believes Trump said that, I have a wall to sell them.
