Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose Trump’s latest litigation threat against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell—pure retaliation after Powell embarrassed him on live TV by correcting his inflated renovation cost claims. They break down how Trump falsely claimed Fed building costs exceeded $3 billion by including a third building completed years ago, only to have Powell calmly pull out the real numbers and shut him down. The hosts explain why this threatened lawsuit is legally impossible due to Powell’s qualified and absolute immunity for performing his job duties, including both monetary policy decisions and overseeing necessary building renovations for asbestos removal and safety upgrades. They reveal how Trump’s real motivation is strong-arming Powell into cutting interest rates to save the midterms, using extortionate lawsuit threats that ironically contradict his own claims to presidential immunity. A perfect example of Trump weaponizing litigation to intimidate independent officials who dare to fact-check his lies.
