Instant Reaction: Judge Rejects Subpoenas of Fed in Powell Case, DOJ to Appeal

Jeanine Pirro vowed to continue her investigation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell after a judge rejected subpoenas issued to the central bank, threatening to delay the confirmation of Kevin Warsh as Powell’s successor.

US District Judge James Boasberg said the government had advanced no evidence to justify the subpoenas — relating to renovations to the Fed’s headquarters and Powell’s comments about the project — and said they clearly reflected an “improper motive” of retaliating against Powell over policy differences. Pirro, who leads the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, called the ruling wrong and said they would appeal the decision.

“This process has been arbitrarily undermined by an activist judge,” Pirro said in a press conference Friday. “The process should have been allowed to run its course, and it wasn’t. And shame on them.”

For instant reaction and analysis, Bloomberg Businessweek Daily cohosts Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec speak with:

June Grasso, Bloomberg legal analyst and host of Bloomberg Law
Michael McKee, Bloomberg International Economics & Policy correspondent
Tim O'Brien, Bloomberg Opinion senior executive editor
