“U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro on Monday asked a federal judge to vacate his decisions blocking aspects of her criminal investigation into the Federal Reserve under Chair Jerome Powell,” CNBC reports.
“Pirro’s motion effectively walks back an often-repeated plan to appeal the judge’s rulings to a higher court. That ends, for the time being, the threat that Powell could be forced to turn over evidence to Pirro. Still, it is unlikely to provide the Fed chair the certainty he wants that the legal threat against him and the central bank have dissipated.”
