Andrew Ross Sorkin Explains the DOJ Criminal Investigation of the Fed Chair

Season 2025 Episode 8077 | 18m 25s

The DOJ launched a rare criminal investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell, threatening potential charges tied to his congressional testimony.

Andrew Ross Sorkin, a NYT columnist and the author of "1929,” breaks down the political and economic implications of this investigation.
