Federal prosecutors attempted an unannounced inspection of the Federal Reserve's costly renovation, raising concerns about transparency as the investigation into Chair Jerome Powell's testimony faces obstruction from entrenched bureaucrats.
Federal prosecutors from U.S. Attorney Jeannine Pirro's office made an unannounced visit to the Federal Reserve's headquarters on Tuesday, seeking to inspect the ongoing $2.5 billion renovation project. The officials were turned away after requesting a 'tour' to 'check on progress' of the renovations, a move that raises serious questions about what the Federal Reserve is trying to hide from the American people.
This visit comes amid Pirro's investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's congressional testimony regarding the renovation project. The probe, which aims to expose potential misconduct at the highest levels, has faced setbacks, including a ruling by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg. The judge quashed subpoenas issued to the Federal Reserve, stating the government had produced 'essentially zero evidence to suspect Chair Powell of a crime.' Critics argue this is yet another example of the deep state protecting its own.
In response to the prosecutors' visit, Robert Hur, the Federal Reserve's outside counsel, referenced Judge Boasberg's ruling, advising Pirro's office to pursue any challenges through 'appropriate legal channels.' This bureaucratic stonewalling only serves to protect the establishment and prevent the truth from coming to light.
Pirro defended her office's actions, citing the project's massive cost overruns as justification for further scrutiny. Yet, the Federal Reserve and its allies continue to resist oversight, fueling suspicions of corruption and mismanagement.
The timing of the visit coincides with the Senate Banking Committee's upcoming confirmation hearing for Kevin Warsh, President Donald Trump's nominee to succeed Powell as Federal Reserve Chair. Senator Thom Tillis has indicated he will oppose advancing Warsh's nomination until the Justice Department concludes its investigation into Powell and the renovation project, demonstrating the importance of rooting out corruption before new leadership is installed.
The Justice Department has not provided further comments on the status of the investigation, as the fight for transparency and accountability continues against entrenched interests.
