Jeanine Pirro Rages at Reporters, Vows to Appeal Ruling Blocking Fed Chair Subpoenas

"One of the age-old tools that all prosecutors have to investigate any crime, including cost overruns, is a grand jury subpoena. Today, however, in Washington, an activist judge has taken that tool away from us by inserting himself and preventing the grand jury from even obtaining, let alone hearing evidence. He has neutered the grand jury's ability to investigate crime."

"As a result, Jerome Powell today is now bathed in immunity, preventing my office from investigating the Federal Reserve. Pirro called the judge's decision wrong and without legal authority. No one, folks, is above the law, and this outrageous decision will be appealed by the United States Department of Justice."

"I am in a legal lane. All of the rest is white noise. I don't care what they say. I have a job, I have the ability to go into a grand jury."

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro expressed outrage after a federal judge quashed subpoenas in an investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, which President Trump ordered over the Fed's multibillion-dollar renovations. Pirro argued the judge's decision removed a critical prosecutorial tool by preventing the grand jury from obtaining evidence, effectively granting Powell immunity. She characterized the ruling as wrong and without legal authority, announcing the Justice Department would appeal. When questioned about failed prosecutions of Democratic lawmakers and Senator Tillis's opposition to Trump's Fed nominees, Pirro dismissed these topics as irrelevant to her legal responsibilities, emphasizing her focus on the grand jury's investigative role.
