Jeanine Pirro Pursues Fed Pressure While Clock Ticks on Her Appeal in Powell Probe
The U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia has yet to file a planned appeal to a judge's ruling quashing her subpoenas to the Federal Reserve.
TL;DR
- Federal prosecutors are continuing to investigate the Federal Reserve and Chair Jerome Powell over alleged malfeasance in building renovations.
- A judge has quashed subpoenas issued by prosecutors, stating they presented no evidence of fraud.
- U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has a limited time to appeal the judge's ruling against her office.
- The investigation's progress is tied to the Senate confirmation of Kevin Warsh, a nominee to replace Powell.
- Senator Thom Tillis intends to vote against Warsh's confirmation as long as Pirro's probe remains unresolved.
- President Trump has also voiced his intention to fire Powell if he does not leave his position by May 15.
