Bret Baier: Current Fed Chair Jerome Powell ‘Is Off the Hook for Now,’ Investigation Was Concerning an Expense Upgrade at the Office

RUSH EXCERPT:
PERGRAM: "Good evening, ending the investigation could pave the way for Kevin’s confirmation as fed chair. GOP North Carolina senator Thom Tillis blocked him until prosecutors halted the Fed inquiry. It’s unclear if this does the trick."

LEAVITT: "The case is not necessarily dropped. It’s just being moved over to the inspector general who have critical tools at their disposal to continue to look into the financial mismanagement of the Fed."

PERGRAM: "The White House needs till list to support the nomination in committee. Till list believed the investigation and the cost overruns to renovate the Fed was part of a pressure campaign to coax Jerome Powell to lower interest rates."
