[Trump Administration Requests Judge to Reconsider Ruling Blocking Criminal Investigation into Powell] Odaily Planet Daily News – Court documents released on Monday show that the Trump administration has requested a judge to reconsider a previous ruling that effectively blocked a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington issued a ruling last Friday, which was unsealed, preventing federal prosecutors from enforcing multiple subpoenas issued in January this year. These subpoenas sought information regarding cost overruns in the Federal Reserve headquarters renovation project and Powell's testimony to Congress last year about the project. In a new court filing, the U.S. Department of Justice urged the judge to reconsider the decision. Washington, D.C. federal prosecutor Jeanine Pirro, who is leading the investigation, and her team argued in the document that the judge 'applied the wrong legal standard' and 'made errors on several significant factual issues.' The motion was filed under seal last Thursday but was made public on Monday at the request of Pirro's office.
