A U.S. judge dismissed the request for the Federal Reserve to disclose interest rate decisions, calling it a publicity stunt

A judge of the U.S. District Court dismissed the legal request from investment fund Azoria Capital for the Federal Reserve to disclose the minutes of its interest rate meetings, stating that the FOMC does not fall under the government agencies defined by the Sunshine Act and therefore does not need to disclose meeting content. Judge Beryl Howell pointed out that Azoria may be using this lawsuit to attract media attention and express dissatisfaction with Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's high interest rate policies, claiming they harm the interests of the U.S. economy
