Prosecutors from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office recently made an unannounced attempt to enter the Federal Reserve’s headquarters renovation site in Washington, D.C., but were turned away by federal staff, according to reporting first published by the Wall Street Journal and confirmed by CBS News. The visit came after Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell (note: some sources referenced Judge Boasberg in earlier commentary) had effectively shut down a Department of Justice inquiry into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, a ruling that courts said found “no evidence whatsoever” to support the probe. The move by Pirro’s team, who are operating under a U.S. Attorney confirmed by the Senate in August 2025, appears tied to a broader scrutiny of the Fed’s renovation and financial oversight.
