On Friday, April 4 (local time), U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Chief Judge James Boasberg denied the Justice Department’s request to revisit its ruling in the criminal case involving Jerome Powell— a decision that had earlier blocked a subpoena in the probe of the former Fed chair. In his March 13 ruling, Boasberg found the subpoena issued to the Federal Reserve Board in January 2023 was improper: it aimed to pressure Powell to either accede to Donald Trump’s demand for rapid interest rate cuts or resign.

April 4 (NBC News) — In a brief phone interview, U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. fighter jet crash would not impact U.S.-Iran negotiations. Trump declined to discuss specifics of the ongoing search and rescue operation after the jet went down in Iran, but expressed frustration with certain reports about the incident, noting it was a clearly tense, sensitive military operation. When asked if the day’s events would affect talks with Iran, Trump replied, “No, not at all. No, this is war, and we are in combat.” Earlier on April 3, Iran’s military public affairs arm announced its national integrated air defense network had successfully downed a U.S. A-10 attack jet via tracking and monitoring in the southern waters near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran labeled the aircraft part of “aggressive enemy forces.” U.S. officials confirmed later that day an A-10 “Warthog” attack jet crashed near the Strait of Hormuz, and the pilot was rescued.
