42:37Now PlayingJeanine Pirro, the Trump-appointed US Attorney for the District of Columbia and former Fox News host, held a press conference after Judge James Boasberg quashed grand jury subpoenas targeting Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Hawk walks through the legal reality behind the ruling, the lack of any credible evidence of criminal conduct, and why Judge Boasberg was right to quash the subpoenas after finding the investigation was politically motivated.
Pirro's office investigated the Federal Reserve for months over cost overruns in a building renovation and could not produce evidence sufficient to seek a criminal indictment. Instead of going to a grand jury for charges, she sent emails asking for phone calls. Judge Boasberg found a mountain of evidence suggesting the subpoenas were issued to pressure Powell into cutting interest rates at Donald Trump's demand, not because any crime occurred.
Hawk examines Pirro's track record of grand jury failures in DC, including refusing to indict a man who threw a sandwich at a border patrol agent and failing to indict Biden administration officials over autopen use. He connects this pattern to a broader picture of loyalty-based appointments across the Trump cabinet, including Alina Haba and Pam Bondi, and the administration's use of the Department of Justice as a political weapon.
Jerome Powell, originally appointed by Trump himself, has resisted pressure to cut interest rates, which Hawk argues is the real reason behind this investigation. The press conference, complete with a ringing phone and citations to Supreme Court precedent that Pirro misapplies, becomes a case study in prosecutorial overreach and legal incompetence.
