US EditionTrump Blasted Federal Prosecutors at White House Event, Calling Them Weak: WSJ
Trump criticized federal prosecutors as ineffective for slow action against his opponents just before subpoenas targeted Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, raising concerns of politicization.
- Last week, President Donald Trump ambushed dozens of U.S. attorneys at a White House photoshoot, calling them 'ineffective' and 'weak' for their slow pursuit of his opponents, according to the Wall Street Journal.
- He has complained in recent weeks about Attorney General Pam Bondi, calling her an ineffective enforcer, and pressed prosecutors to act faster against U.S. Senator Adam Schiff .
- One day before subpoenas were sought, the exchange occurred; Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, attended the White House photoshoot, and her office reportedly sought subpoenas to the Federal Reserve.
- The investigation's fallout included immediate market and political reactions as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell announced on Sunday he was investigated by the Trump DOJ, sending markets and prominent Republicans spinning.
- Past actions include a removed U.S. attorney and dismissed cases, as Trump forced out a conservative U.S. attorney in Virginia last year who found insufficient evidence against New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey.
