美国司法部关闭对美联储主席鲍威尔的刑事调查，转而寻求监察长办公室审查成本超支
Read, Watch or Listen
Washington: On April 24, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced that the Justice Department will close its criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell regarding costly renovations at the Fed’s Washington headquarters and instead asked the Fed’s Office of Inspector General to examine alleged cost overruns. The announcement on Friday removes an immediate legal impediment to the Senate confirmation of President Trump’s nominee Kevin Warsh and follows subpoena actions earlier this year that were blocked by a federal judge; Pirro said she may reopen a criminal probe if the IG’s findings or new evidence warrant further action.
