#DOJ drops criminal probe of #FederalReserve chair #JeromePowell

#USAttorney for DC #JeanninePirro said Friday that her office was ending its probe into the Fed’s building renovations because the Fed’s IG would scrutinize them instead.

The decision ends an investigation, one of several into #Trump’s perceived adversaries, that for months had failed to gain traction as prosecutors struggled to articulate a basis to suspect #criminal conduct.

Justice Department ends criminal investigation of Fed chair Powell

The Justice Department has ended its investigation into Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell, clearing a major roadblock to the confirmation of Kevin Warsh as his successor. U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro said on X Friday her office was ending its probe into the Fed’s extensive building renovations because the Fed’s inspector general would scrutinize them instead. The move could lead to a swift confirmation vote by the Senate for Warsh, a former Fed official President Donald Trump nominated in January to replace Powell. The investigation was among several undertaken by the Justice Department into the Republican president's perceived adversaries. Powell says the investigation was intended to intimidate the Fed.

Prosecutors try to access Fed building as Trump threatens to fire Powell after his chair term ends

Federal prosecutors made an unannounced visit this week to a construction site at Federal Reserve headquarters that is the focus of an investigation into a $2.5 billion renovation project, according to two people familiar with the visit.
