Judge blocks Justice Department subpoenas of Federal Reserve in investigation

A judge has blocked the Justice Department from using subpoenas to get information from the Federal Reserve as part of an investigation. The DOJ is appealing the decision, which limits its ability to gather evidence in the case.

The case involves an investigation where the DOJ was seeking records, but the judge ruled the subpoenas were not properly justified. This is seen as a significant setback for the Justice Department's efforts in this particular probe.
