## Resource

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss today’s announcement by U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro that The Justice Department is closing its investigation into Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell and the alleged cost overruns in renovations at the Federal Reserve. They also talk about the New York Times introducing the term “microlooting” to the lexicon in a podcast entitled “The Rich Don’t Play by the Rules. So Why Should I?”. Next, they preview this weekend’s White House Correspondents Dinner, which will feature an appearance by President Donald Trump for the first time as president. And finally, the guys give up this week’s “You Cannot Be Serious” stories. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
