This case concerns a motion to quash a series of subpoenas on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. These subpoenas sought records about recent renovations of the Board’s buildings, as well as testimony that Jerome Powell delivered to Congress regarding those renovations. Movants alleged that these subpoenas were improperly issued as part of a broader scheme to pressure the Reserve into lowering interest rates. On March 13, 2026, Chief Judge James E. Boasberg of the District of Columbia issued an opinion finding that the subpoenas were issued for an improper purpose and ordered them quashed.
This case is ongoing.
