Judge Jeanine Pirro says the Department of Justice is dropping its criminal investigation into the Federal Reserve and its leader, Chair Jerome Powell.

“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 U.S. Attorney for D.C. said in a post on X, referring to allegations the Trump administration has leveled at Powell.

“Accordingly, I have directed my office to close our investigation as the IG undertakes this inquiry,” she went on, adding she will “not hesitate to restart a criminal investigation should the facts warrant doing so.”
