according to informed sources, Jenny Pirro, the federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia, issued a subpoena to the Federal Reserve without prior approval from the Department of Justice superiors and has no intention of halting the investigation into Powell due to external pressure. This investigation has sparked strong opposition from members of Congress, and even President Trump has publicly stated his attempt to distance himself from the matter. However, Pirro, who was confirmed just five months ago and transitioned from a Fox News host to a federal prosecutor, still plans to continue the investigation. Current signs indicate that Pirro is facing significant resistance. U.S. media previously reported that Mel Watt, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, was a key figure pushing the investigation into the Federal Reserve. But Watt stated on Monday that he was completely unaware of the subpoena. Pirro's office and representatives of Attorney General Barr declined to comment.
