Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, issued a statement on the Department of Justice's new filing:
"Yesterday, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro insisted that the Justice Department will 'continue to litigate' its ability to pursue Donald Trump's witch hunt against Fed Chair Powell. Today, Trump's DOJ followed through on that promise, asking a federal court to vacate its order blocking criminal subpoenas and laying the groundwork to restart its bogus investigation at any time. This is not what it looks like to close a criminal case. The Senate should not vote next week to confirm Kevin Warsh, who has proven to be nothing more than Donald Trump's sock puppet."
