3月13日（路透社）- 法院文件周五显示，美国联邦储备委员会（美联储）在与美国司法部就与美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔相关的记录发生冲突时，聘请了罗伯特·赫尔（Robert Hur）——一位曾调查前民主党总统乔·拜登处理机密文件问题的著名前检察官。
这些文件是在华盛顿的一名联邦法官阻止司法部就鲍威尔处理美联储使用的历史建筑翻新问题展开刑事调查而发出的传票后被 unsealed（解封）的。裁决称，政府”没有提供任何证据表明鲍威尔除了让总统不悦之外犯有任何罪行”。

共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普向美联储施压，要求其降低利率，并猛烈抨击鲍威尔未能更快地采取行动。鲍威尔称司法部的调查是一种借口。
赫尔是一名保守派人士，在拜登政府时期被任命为特别顾问，调查其在住所和办公室发现的机密文件处理情况。他拒绝提起诉讼，但因称拜登是”一位记忆力差的老人”而受到民主党人的批评。
赫尔曾在特朗普的第一任期内被任命为马里兰州高级联邦检察官。他现在是King & Spalding律师事务所的合伙人。该事务所的另一位合伙人杰弗里·布霍尔茨（Jeffrey Bucholtz）此前曾代表美联储参与诉讼，也是此次传票案件团队的成员。
赫尔和布霍尔茨未立即回应置评请求。美联储理事会发言人拒绝置评。
赫尔和King & Spalding律师事务所还代表哈佛大学就该校联邦资金和外国学生入学问题与特朗普政府的诉讼案进行辩护。
鲍威尔由Williams & Connolly律师事务所的律师代理，他在今年1月透露，司法部正在调查美联储总部华盛顿历史建筑的翻新项目。传票要求提供有关翻新工程以及鲍威尔2025年7月在参议院银行委员会作证的信息。
美联储理事会试图撤销传票，在2月24日的文件中辩称，传票的目的是”帮助总统为自己夺取联邦法律明确禁止他拥有的权力”。

Federal Reserve turned to Biden special prosecutor in DOJ subpoena fight
March 13, 2026 10:47 PM UTC / Reuters
March 13 (Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Reserve Board tapped Robert Hur, a prominent former prosecutor who investigated former Democratic President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents, in its clash with the U.S. Justice Department over records related to Fed Chair Jerome Powell, court filings showed on Friday.
The filings were unsealed when a federal judge in Washington blocked subpoenas issued by the Justice Department in its criminal investigation into Powell’s handling of renovations of historic buildings used by the central bank. The government “offered no evidence whatsoever that Powell committed any crime other than displeasing the President,” the ruling said.

Republican President Donald Trump has pressured the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates and has lashed out at Powell for not doing so more quickly. Powell has called the Justice Department’s investigation a pretext.
Hur, a conservative, was appointed special counsel during Biden’s presidency to investigate his handling of classified documents found in his home and office. He declined to bring charges but drew criticism from Democrats for his assessment of Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
Hur was appointed Maryland’s top federal prosecutor by Trump during his first administration. He is now a partner at law firm King & Spalding. Jeffrey Bucholtz, another partner at the firm, has represented the Federal Reserve Board in prior litigation and is also part of the team in the subpoena case.

Hur and Bucholtz did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A spokesperson for the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors declined to comment.
Hur and King & Spalding also represent Harvard University in litigation against the Trump administration over the school’s federal funding and enrollment of foreign students.
Powell, who is represented by attorneys from law firm Williams & Connolly, disclosed in January that the Justice Department was probing a project to renovate historic buildings at the Fed headquarters in Washington. The subpoenas sought information about the renovations and Powell’s July 2025 testimony before the Senate Banking Committee.
The Fed’s Board of Governors moved to quash the subpoenas, arguing in a Feb. 24 filing that their purpose was to “aid the president’s quest to seize for himself a power specifically denied to him by federal law.”

Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg sided with the Fed’s Board of Governors on Friday, saying there is a “mountain of evidence” suggesting that DOJ’s investigation was to pressure Powell to lower rates or resign.
Washington, D.C., U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, whose office is spearheading the investigation, promised to appeal.
