A federal judge in Washington has denied a request by an investment firm led by an ally of President Donald Trump to open the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on July 29 to the public. The investment firm, led by Trump ally Arthur Laffer, argued that the FOMC meetings should be made public to increase transparency. However, the judge ruled that the FOMC's current policy of holding closed-door meetings is appropriate and does not violate any laws or regulations. The FOMC is responsible for setting the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, and its meetings have traditionally been closed to the public to allow for frank discussions and decision-making. The judge's decision upholds the Federal Reserve's long-standing practice of keeping its policy deliberations private.
