Trump again moves to fire Cook

President Donald Trump has revived his threat to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over unproven allegations of mortgage fraud, according to a letter seen by Bloomberg in which Cook was told that Trump is “considering removing” her and gave her until Aug. 26 to respond to allegations made by the White House. In June, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to block Trump's attempt to fire Cook. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the President didn't provide Cook enough process to contest allegations of mortgage fraud. Cook’s lawyer Abbe Lowell said of the new threat: “These allegations are as baseless now as they were a year ago when President Trump tried to remove Governor Cook and interfere with the independence of the Federal Reserve . . . No matter what President Trump tries to do next, this much is clear under the facts and Supreme Court precedent - there is no valid cause for removing Governor Cook. As we did before, we will challenge this latest pretext and preserve her position and the historic role of the Fed.”
