A federal judge has blocked subpoenas sent to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell by the Justice Department. NBC News' Gary Grumbach has details on the judge's decision and criticism lawmakers have had about the Justice Department's case against Powell.
Judge James Boasberg ruled US prosecutors under Trump produced 'essentially zero evidence' to justify the subpoenas.
Judge Boasberg described the Department of Justice's effort as an attempt to pressure Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell into lowering interest rates or resigning.
Powell said the threatened indictment was related to his testimony before the Senate in June about the renovation of Federal Reserve office buildings.
