Pirro abandons plan to appeal Powell subpoenas in Fed investigation

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro asked a federal judge to vacate rulings blocking parts of her criminal investigation into the Federal Reserve and Chair Jerome Powell. The case adds legal and political uncertainty around the Fed, but the article provides no new policy action, enforcement outcome, or market-moving detail. Near-term market impact is likely limited unless the investigation escalates or touches Fed operations more directly.
