Il Fatto Quotidiano: La procura Usa chiude l’indagine sul presidente della Fed Jerome Powell. Via libera alla conferma di Warsh come successore

La procura americana ha annunciato di voler abbandonare le indagini sul presidente della Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, finito nel mirino di Donald Trump che lo ha accusato di eccessiva “timidezza” nel tagliare i tassi e poi sotto inchiesta per i presunti costi lievitati dei piani di ristrutturazione della sede della Banca centrale Usa. Viene così rimosso l’ostacolo che aveva bloccato la conferma di Kevin Warsh come suo successore.
La procuratrice federale di Washington, Jeanine Pirro, ha comunicato la decisione in un post su X, aggiungendo che sarà l’Ispettore Generale della Fed a esaminare “attentamente” le spese (“dell’ordine di miliardi”) per i lavori nella sede della Fed, “sostenuti dai contribuenti”. “Mi aspetto un rapporto esaustivo in tempi brevi e confido che l’esito contribuirà a risolvere, una volta per tutte, le questioni che hanno indotto questo Ufficio a emettere mandati di comparizione”, ha concluso Pirro, procuratrice del District of Columbia, la capitale Usa. “Si noti bene, tuttavia, che non esiterò a riaprire un’indagine penale qualora i fatti lo rendessero necessario”.
Un giudice federale aveva già stabilito che le citazioni a comparire dinanzi al Gran Giurì, notificate alla Fed nel mese di gennaio, erano improprie, rilevando inoltre la presenza di “prove essenzialmente nulle” riguardo a fatti penalmente rilevanti. Da parte democratica e anche da settori repubblicani era stata chiesta l’archiviazione dell’indagine, prima di procedere alla conferma della nomina di Warsh come nuovo presidente della Banca Centrale. Per essere confermato in commissione ha bisogno di ottenere il voto della maggioranza dei suoi membri, 13 repubblicani e 11 democratici.
Nei giorni scorsi il repubblicano Thom Tills aveva annunciato di voler bloccare la conferma della nomina se il dipartimento di Giustizia non avesse archiviato l’inchiesta. Lo scorso anno Tills ha rinunciato a ricandidarsi dopo essere finito nel mirino degli attacchi e insulti di Trump per aver votato contro il ‘Big, beautiful bill’.

The US Justice Department closes the investigation into Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. Green light given for Warsh’s confirmation as successor.

The U.S. Justice Department has announced it intends to drop its investigation into the president of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, who had been the target of accusations by Donald Trump of “excessive timidity” in cutting interest rates and subsequently investigated for allegedly inflated costs of the U.S. Central Bank’s headquarters renovation plans. This removes the obstacle that had blocked the confirmation of Kevin Warsh as his successor.

U.S. Attorney for Washington, Jeanine Pirro, announced the decision in a post on X, adding that the Fed’s General Inspector will “carefully” examine the expenses (“in the billions”) for the work at the Fed headquarters, “funded by taxpayers.” “I expect a comprehensive report in a short time and I trust that the outcome will contribute, once and for all, to resolve the issues that led this Office to issue subpoenas,” Pirro concluded, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, the nation’s capital. “However, I will not hesitate to reopen a criminal investigation if the facts warrant it.”

A federal judge had already ruled that the subpoenas issued to the Grand Jury, served to the Fed in January, were improper, noting the presence of “substantially null evidence” regarding matters of criminal relevance. Demands for the investigation’s closure had come from both the Democratic and Republican sides, prior to proceeding with Warsh’s confirmation as the new head of the Central Bank. To be confirmed in committee, he needs the vote of a majority of its members, 13 Republicans and 11 Democrats.

In recent days, Republican Thom Tillis had announced he would block the confirmation of the appointment if the Department of Justice did not close the investigation. Last year, Tillis had withdrawn his candidacy after being the target of attacks and insults from Trump for voting against the “Big, beautiful bill.”
