Judge blocks subpoenas in criminal probe of Fed Chair Jerome Powell
A federal judge has blocked subpoenas issued to the Federal Reserve as part of a criminal investigation of its chair, Jerome Powell, by the prosecutors in the office of U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Jeanine Pirro, a court filing showed Friday.Pirro is set to give an update on the probe of Jerome Powell on Friday afternoon.
Pirro’s planned statement comes as Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., has vowed to continue a blockage of President Donald Trump’s nominee to replace Powell, Kevin Warsh, as chair. Tillis has said he will not lift that block until the investigation of Powell is resolved.
Powell has said he learned he was under investigation by Pirro’s office, ostensibly in connection with pricey renovations of the Federal Reserve headquarters, and his testimony to the Senate Banking Committee about that project.
Judge blocks subpoenas in criminal probe of Fed Chair Jerome Powell
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has said he is being investigated ostensibly for comments he made about the pricey renovations of the Fed's headquarters.
Will she take to the podium and declare the judge is a radical leftist? Declare this is a miscarriage of justice? Resign from her position after yet another failed prosecution of someone trump doesn't like? Forfeit her license to practice law?
Or will she try to find another person to unjustifiably prosecute?
In any event, this is good news for Don's nominee to be the next Fed chairman since Sen. Tillis has a hold on the vote until the Powell matter is concluded.
