Federal prosecutors under U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro attempted to access the Federal Reserve building amid an investigation into cost overruns, as President Trump threatens to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Right-leaning outlets like The Gateway Pundit focus on the DOJ investigation into Fed headquarters construction, framing Powell as "stonewalling" prosecutors. In contrast, left-leaning sources such as RawStory describe the move as a "vendetta" and highlight Powell’s commitment to protecting the central bank's independence from political interference.
