[U.S. Congress Formally Responds to Powell Investigation for the First Time, Democrats Demand Trump Officials Hand Over Records] According to a report by Jinse Finance, two Democratic senators in the United States are demanding that Trump administration officials submit records related to the Department of Justice's criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. This marks the first formal response from Congress regarding the subpoena received by the Federal Reserve earlier this month. In letters sent on Tuesday, seen by *The Wall Street Journal*, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren and Illinois Senator Dick Durbin—both leading Democrats on Senate committees overseeing the Federal Reserve and the Department of Justice—have instructed two Trump administration officials to preserve documents and submit them to the Senate. These letters were sent to Attorney General Bondi and Mark Calabria, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and a known "anti-Fed crusader." "This investigation appears to be a serious abuse of power," the two senators wrote in their letter to Calabria. The Democrats' request does not carry legal force but could lay the groundwork for more formal investigations in the future.
