Jeanine Pirro furiously backpedals after Jerome Powell probe gets GOP backlash

Story by Elyse Wanshel. NBC News, Januuary 13, 2026

Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said on social media that the Fed “ignored” her office’s outreach to discuss the renovation cost overruns, “necessitating the use of legal process — which is not a threat.”

“The word ‘indictment’ has come out of Mr. Powell’s mouth, no one else’s,” Pirro posted on X, although the subpoenas and the White House’s own statement about determining Powell’s criminality would suggest the risk of an indictment.

A bipartisan group of former Fed chairs and top economists on Monday called the Trump administration’s investigation “an unprecedented attempt to use prosecutorial attacks” to undermine the Fed’s independence, stressing that central banks controlled by political leaders tend to produce higher inflation and lower growth.

She was trying to entrap him into saying something that was false during a perjury investigation. She has a hardcopy of the Congressional testimony to check against, while he has to go by memory. Good for him.

She is another influencer/media personality working for the administration and previously a Fox News talk show host. That background has to be scraping the bottom of the barrel of credibility.
