阿拉斯加州共和党参议员丽莎·穆尔科斯基指出，美国司法部对美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔的调查，实为迫使美联储降低利率的赤裸裸胁迫行为。
这位资深参议员直言不讳地表示："行政部门的调查不过是胁迫手段而已"，并警告称，若特朗普总统继续施压试图让传统上独立的美联储屈从其意志，将引发金融动荡。穆尔科斯基强调："此事关系重大，不容忽视：一旦美联储丧失独立性，我国市场稳定及整体经济必将遭受重创。"
她主张，国会而非司法部应当对美联储大楼翻修工程的任何成本超支问题展开调查。作为温和派共和党人，穆尔科斯基支持北卡罗来纳州参议员、银行委员会成员汤姆·蒂利斯提出的动议——在相关法律问题解决前，反对确认任何美联储提名候选人。
