US Attorney Jeanine Pirro Signals Potential Resumption of Criminal Inquiry Into Fed Chair Jerome Powell
US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced that her office might reopen a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. This inquiry focuses on a 2.5 billion dollar renovation project at the central bank's headquarters. Pirro stated that the decision depends on the results of an ongoing inspector general's probe. Pirro did not rule out continuing the investigation, and prosecutors signaled that the inquiry could be resurrected soon. This development follows an unannounced visit by federal prosecutors to the Federal Reserve's Washington, D.C. offices in April. During that visit, prosecutors inspected the construction site as part of the initial probe. The investigation comes at a time when President Trump has threatened to fire Powell from his position.
