Pirro's Prosecutors Visit Federal Reserve

Pirro's Prosecutors Visit Federal Reserve

The Justice Department's investigation into the central bank has created significant political friction, threatening to delay the confirmation of the next Fed chair.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the aggressive tactics, stating that Americans should be 'happy' with the executive's deep involvement in oversight.

The probe focuses on alleged financial irregularities during the extensive renovation of the Eccles Building.

Meanwhile, President Trump's nominee for the chair, Kevin Warsh, has disclosed assets worth over $130 million, making him one of the wealthiest potential leaders in the bank's history.
