3月13日（路透社）- 周五，一名联邦法官表示，他正在阻止司法部向美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔发出的传票，该传票据称是为调查美联储央行大楼翻新工程的管理情况而发出的。
鲍威尔1月11日披露了这项调查，并称此举威胁到美联储的独立性，是特朗普政府试图迫使美联储降息的一部分。

“政府实质上几乎没有提供任何证据怀疑鲍威尔主席犯罪；事实上，其理由过于薄弱且未经证实，法院只能得出结论，这些理由是虚构的。”首席法官詹姆斯·博斯伯格（James Boasberg）写道。

March 13 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Friday said he was blocking subpoenas that the Justice Department served to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in a probe purported to be about the management of the central bank’s renovation.
Powell disclosed the probe January 11, and described the move as a threat to Fed independence and part of the Trump administration’s attempts to pressure the Fed to cut rates.

The judge agreed, saying a “mountain of evidence” suggests the investigation was to pressure the Fed chair to lower rates or resign.

“The Government has produced essentially zero evidence to suspect Chair Powell of a crime; indeed, its justifications are so thin and unsubstantiated that the Court can only conclude that they are pretextual,” Chief Judge James Boasberg wrote.
