Nobel laureate Paul Krugman, a City University of New York professor, reacts to a federal judge's ruling that blocks a federal investigation of Fed Chair Powell. Krugman says President Trump and US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro are "harassing" Powell. Krugman says the independence of the Fed is on the line.

Jeanine Pirro vowed to continue her investigation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell after a judge rejected subpoenas issued to the central bank, threatening to delay the confirmation of Kevin Warsh as Powell’s successor.
US District Judge James Boasberg said the government had advanced no evidence to justify the subpoenas — relating to renovations to the Fed’s headquarters and Powell’s comments about the project — and said they clearly reflected an “improper motive” of retaliating against Powell over policy differences. Pirro, who leads the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, called the ruling wrong and said they would appeal the decision.
“This process has been arbitrarily undermined by an activist judge,” Pirro said in a press conference Friday. “The process should have been allowed to run its course, and it wasn’t. And shame on them.”
