The U.S. judge refused to reconsider the ruling on the Powell case, and the appeal or delay of Woz's nomination confirmation.

ME News report: On April 4 (UTC+8), local time Friday, District of Columbia Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg rejected a request by the U.S. Department of Justice to rehear its ruling in the criminal case involving Powell. Previously, his ruling had blocked subpoenas issued in connection with the criminal investigation involving Powell. In a March 13 ruling, Boasberg said that subpoenas issued in January last year to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve were issued for an improper purpose—to pressure Powell into accepting the conditions of Trump’s demand for either a rapid interest-rate cut or his resignation. The subpoenas to Powell were issued by Washington, D.C. Chief U.S. Attorney Jennyen M. Piro (a steadfast supporter of Trump). Piro has pledged to continue the investigation and said her office is prepared to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. According to sources, senior DOJ officials support this appeal decision. This appeal could delay confirmation of Kevin Wosh’s nomination as Federal Reserve chair. U.S. Senator Tom Tillis is a Republican member of the Senate Banking Committee; he previously criticized the investigation into Powell, and he vowed to continue blocking Wosh’s nomination while the appeal process is ongoing.
