Trump administration moves ahead with efforts to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook
Americas3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported57m ago
The Trump administration is advancing efforts to terminate Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, renewing a conflict over her position. The administration's move to remove Cook is based on mortgage fraud allegations, which she has consistently denied.
The ongoing dispute stems from broader tensions between US President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve members regarding monetary policy, specifically Trump's push to rapidly reduce interest rates despite ongoing inflation.
This latest development follows a previous legal challenge; two months prior, the Supreme Court permitted Cook to retain her position while she contested the president's termination efforts in her ongoing legal battle.
