U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro responds to judge blocking subpoenas against Fed Chair Powell

A judge blocked subpoenas seeking testimony from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell; U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro spoke to journalists after the ruling. The decision removes an immediate legal threat to Powell and reduces near-term political pressure on Fed decision-making. Market implications are likely limited, though political and legal scrutiny of the Fed could persist.
