Fed declares war on Jeanine Pirro over criminal probe into Jerome Powell

The Federal Reserve is hitting back at the Trump administration as U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro wages a legal battle to force the central bank to hand over documents related to her criminal investigation into Chair Jerome Powell, according to a new report.
Pirro's dubious probe centers around whether Powell lied to Congress about renovation cost overruns at the Fed's historic buildings. It comes amid a broader retributive campaign from Trump that targets perceived foes.
Powell fired back last month with a rare public video statement, accusing Pirro of weaponizing the investigation as part of Trump's relentless pressure campaign to slash interest rates and strip the Fed of its independence.
