trump decided he needs Kevin Warsh as Fed chair more than he needs to bother Powell with a fruitless prosecution that wasn't going anywhere.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, the top federal prosecutor in the District of Columbia, said in a post on X that she is abandoning the probe. Her announcement came three days after Warsh testified before the Senate Banking Committee on his nomination.
Pirro had said just Wednesday that she was committed to continuing the criminal probe, which had been crippled by a federal judge’s ruling quashing subpoenas her office issued to the Fed.
Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican and Banking Committee member, had an effective hold on the full Senate from voting to confirm Warsh as Fed chair unless the criminal investigation ended.

No biggie. There are other targets to go after for Blanche. Though the subpoenas issued in the Brennan investigation were strangely pulled the other day. And we know what happened with Comey and James. You'd think trump grifting the $1B+ he's made since becoming prez would be enough. And there's still the IRS suit that essentially has him deciding if he'll award himself $10B.
But he's still an angry old guy.
