Judge Blocks Prosecutor’s Erasure Attempt
from The Daily News Now! Business
A federal judge just blocked a prosecutor’s bid to erase rulings that exposed a politically charged investigation into former Fed Chair Jerome Powell, calling it a witch hunt aimed at pressuring him for lower interest rates. The prosecutor, seeking to scrub the record after claiming the probe was over, was rebuffed — the judge reminded her she’d previously signaled she might reopen the case. This legal tug-of-war, which even intersected with Senate confirmation of a new Fed chair, ended when the prosecutor dropped the investigation and Powell stayed on the board to ensure the legal threats were truly gone. The judge’s latest order stands firm: his rulings remain, because erasing legal defeats would undermine the very foundation of precedent.
