The US Justice Department has asked a federal judge to throw out his ruling that blocked prosecutors from using grand jury subpoenas during their investigation into building-cost overruns by the Federal Reserve.

US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said in a court filing Monday that the ruling is no longer necessary because she has closed the investigation into the cost overruns and testimony given about the matter by Chair Jerome Powell.
