华盛顿 — 一名联邦法官周五驳回了美国司法部试图重启两项传票的请求。此前司法部曾就针对美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔以及美联储大楼翻新工程的刑事调查，向美联储发出这两项传票，而该法官此前曾以这些传票是借口且无犯罪证据为由将其撤销。
“政府的论点完全无法让法院相信有必要作出不同的判决，”哥伦比亚特区首席法官詹姆斯·博阿斯伯格写道。
今年1月，鲍威尔透露美联储已收到美国司法部发出的大陪审团传票，作为针对他的持续刑事调查的一部分。
据鲍威尔称，这些传票涉及与他2025年6月在参议院银行委员会作证相关的刑事指控。这位主席因拒绝快速降息而招致特朗普总统的不满，他表示此次调查的焦点是他有关美联储办公楼一项为期多年的翻新工程的言论。此次调查尚未提出任何刑事指控。
在密封庭审中，美联储的律师请求博阿斯伯格撤销这些传票。博阿斯伯格批准了该请求，并于上个月公开了他的判决，此举导致美国检察官珍妮娜·皮尔罗指责他是一名“激进法官”，其判决“不受法律约束”。
美国政府既对该判决提起上诉，又提交了另一项动议，请求博阿斯伯格重新考虑其判决。

Washington — A federal judge on Friday rejected efforts by the Justice Department to revive two subpoenas it served to the Federal Reserve as part of its criminal investigation into Chairman Jerome Powell and the Fed’s building renovations, after the judge had quashed them on the grounds they were pretextual and not based on evidence of a crime.
“The Government’s arguments do not come close to convincing the Court that a different outcome is warranted,” wrote Chief Judge for the District of Columbia James Boasberg.
In January, Powell revealed that the Federal Reserve had received grand jury subpoenas from the Justice Department as part of an ongoing criminal investigation into him.
The subpoenas threatened a criminal indictment related to Powell’s testimony before the Senate Banking Committee in June 2025, according to Powell. The chairman — who has drawn President Trump’s ire for declining to rapidly slash interest rates — said the probe centered on his comments about a years-long renovation project at the Federal Reserve’s office buildings. The investigation has not resulted in any criminal charges.
In sealed proceedings, lawyers for the Federal Reserve asked Boasberg to quash them. Boasberg granted the request and unsealed his decision last month, prompting U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to accuse him of being an “activist judge” whose decision was “untethered to the law.”
The government is both appealing the ruling and filed a separate motion asking Boasberg to reconsider his decision.
