A drunk and a malignant narcissist are trying to influence monetary policy

Mixed signals and suspicions fueled clash between Fed and prosecutors

The battle between the Federal Reserve and Trump administration prosecutors accelerated over the past few weeks amid mixed signals and mutual suspicion, according to interviews with a half-dozen figures with knowledge of both sides of the dispute.

Late last month, Fed officials grew concerned that the Justice Department was preparing a criminal case against them when they received two casually worded emails from a prosecutor working for Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C. The messages sought a meeting or phone call to discuss renovations at the central bank’s headquarters, according to three people familiar with the matter, who like most others interviewed spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an open investigation.

The emails, sent Dec. 19 and Dec. 29, came from Assistant U.S. Attorney Carlton Davis, a political appointee in Pirro’s office whose background includes work for House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Kentucky), the people said.

The messages struck Fed officials as breezy in tone.
