U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro has reacted to a ruling from U.S. District Judge James Boasberg blocking a pair of grand jury subpoenas targeting the Federal Reserve.
On Friday, Pirro gave the update on her criminal investigation into chairman Jerome Powell, calling the ruling “outrageous.”
“Jerome Powell is now bathed in immunity,” she fumed. “This is wrong, and it is without legal authority.”
She revealed that she will be appealing the ruling and also making a motion to reconsider.
Powell is accused of making false testimony to Congress about renovations to the Federal Reserve headquarters in Washington D.C.
Judge Boasberg claimed there was not probable cause to issue the subpoenas and that they were merely meant to pressure Powell into voting for lower interest rates or resigning.
“Did prosecutors issue those subpoenas for a proper purpose? The Court finds that they did not,” Boasberg wrote in the decision in U.S. District Court in Washington, which was dated Wednesday, but unsealed on Friday.
“There is abundant evidence that the subpoenas’ dominant (if not sole) purpose is to harass and pressure Powell either to yield to the President or to resign and make way for a Fed Chair who will,” the judge wrote.
“On the other side of the scale, the Government has offered no evidence whatsoever that Powell committed any crime other than displeasing the President,” Boasberg wrote.
