Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said on Jan. 13 that Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell could have avoided a Department of Justice probe if the central bank “had just responded to our outreach.”
In a Jan. 13 statement on X, Pirro said the U.S. Attorney’s Office had repeatedly contacted the Fed about cost overruns and Powell’s June testimony before the Senate Banking Committee.
