The U.S. Department of Justice plans to appeal the Fed subpoena ruling, not to reopen the investigation into Powell.

```

The U.S. Department of Justice plans to appeal a federal court ruling that blocked prosecutors from using grand jury subpoenas on the Federal Reserve. This move is intended to safeguard prosecutors' core investigatory powers, rather than to restart the investigation into the Fed and Chairman Powell.

The dispute originates from Chief Judge James Boasberg of the federal district court overturning two grand jury subpoenas issued by prosecutors to the Federal Reserve. The Department of Justice believes that this ruling poses a fundamental challenge to prosecutorial authority.

U.S. federal prosecutor Jeanine Pirro stated:

"Without question, we will appeal. When a federal judge thinks they can stand at the grand jury’s door and block prosecutors from entering—while the U.S. Supreme Court has made it clear that prosecutors may enter based on suspicion or even rumor—we must appeal this ruling."

Pirro said the appeal would be filed before Monday. She emphasized that letting the ruling stand would cause substantial harm to prosecutors' investigatory tools. Although Pirro announced last week the closure of the investigation into the Federal Reserve’s construction cost overruns, the appeal will proceed as planned.

Powell Investigation Closed, Appeal Seeks to Correct Limits on Prosecutorial Authority

It is worth noting that this appeal does not involve any substantive allegations against the Federal Reserve or Powell.

Pirro formally announced last week the closure of the probe into the Federal Reserve’s construction cost overruns. The purpose of the appeal is solely to overturn Judge Boasberg’s ruling to prevent it from serving as a precedent that could restrict future investigations.

Senator Thom Tillis stated that this appeal aims to challenge the legal basis of the ruling itself, not to seek a resumption of the related investigation.

The core significance of this case lies in judicial process, not in the direction of Federal Reserve policy. The Federal Reserve’s independence and Powell’s position are not directly affected by this case at this time.
