U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro will not reveal if she will restart the probe into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell until after the Office of the Inspector General, an in-house watchdog, releases if it discovered any evidence of criminal wrongdoing.

“It depends on what he finds,” Pirro said during an interview on CNN’s “Face The Nation” with Jake Tapper.
