April 4, 2026 • Google News World

A US District Judge has rejected the Department of Justice’s bid to reinstate subpoenas issued to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and other officials. The judge made this decision in a ruling related to a grand jury investigation.

The DOJ had sought to revive the subpoenas, which were previously quashed by the court. However, the judge has now denied their request to reconsider the original decision.

The subpoenas were initially issued as part of a broader investigation into various financial transactions and activities within the Federal Reserve. The investigation is ongoing, with officials from the DOJ and the Federal Bureau of Investigation working together to gather evidence.

The judge’s ruling does not provide further details on the specifics of the investigation or the reasons behind the DOJ’s request to reinstate the subpoenas. However, it confirms that the court has maintained its original decision regarding the quashing of the subpoenas.

The Department of Justice and other parties involved in the investigation will likely continue to work towards resolving the matter through the ongoing investigation.
