The Department of Justice (DOJ) is dropping its efforts to investigate the Federal Reserve and its chairman, Jerome Powell, over cost overruns on the central bank’s headquarters.
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), a member of the Senate Banking Committee, vowed to block President Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh to succeed Powell unless the DOJ’s investigation was dropped. US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro had repeatedly declared her office would pursue the probe despite Tillis’ threat and after a federal judge blocked her attempts to issue subpoenas to the Fed and Powell.
Pirro announced on X, “This morning the Inspector General for the Federal Reserve has been asked to scrutinize the building costs overruns – in the billions of dollars – that have been borne by taxpayers. The IG has the authority to hold the Federal Reserve accountable to American taxpayers. I expect a comprehensive report in short order and am confident the outcome will assist in resolving, once and for all, the questions that led this office to issue subpoenas. Accordingly, I have directed my office to close our investigation as the IG undertakes this inquiry.”
Pirro’s claims that the Fed was wasting taxpayer money was disputed by multiple X users who noted the Fed is self-financed and does not receive taxpayer money. She also threatened to resume the investigation at a later date.
“Note well, however, that I will not hesitate to restart a criminal investigation should the facts warrant doing so,” she declared.
Trump’s bloviating threats that Courts throw out time and again, and many threats never actually taken to the investigation level, even fewer taken to court. How many times has Trump vowed to prosecute Obama, Clinton, a litany of his “enemies”, and most have never had any investigation done on them, and certainly NOT charges filed (because there is NO evidence of any wrong doing).
Trump and his cabal of criminals have ripped off taxpayers in the Billions, with most of that grift funneling into the Trump Family, but many others also on the Grift Express Train. Gnome will never suffer any consequences for her grift in buying her luxury airplane “Adulterers’ Airlines” and the taxpayer born costs of making those stupid ads with her Mara Lago Saddle Face riding that poor horse (horse is so embarrassed). No bid contracts all over the place, and wasted time and taxpayer money on ballrooms and cheesy gold ornaments for the Crow Trump to peck at all the sparkles. Funders for Trump got Billions in tax breaks, and a few have offered to pay for that UGLY Ballroom (looks like a cheap house of prostitution), and cost overruns are nearly 2x origin estimates. But sure, Powel is the criminal here. Yeah, right!
Julie needs to state the name of the publications, the dates and page numbers where her info can be found so what she said can be corroborated. Only then will I give any consideration to it being true! At this point I find notthing she has written to be true! She is just an out of control Dem, with a mouth that is giving lip service to trash, with no facts, but simply spouting craziness that she makes up. IT’s her version of something she may have heard.
Another President Donal J. Trump whenever any one dares to find out where the teal scams/scums are.
