President Trump threatened to take "immediate action" against Federal Reserve Governor Lisa D. Cook, days after a federal court blocked his attempt to fire two FTC officials. The move escalates White House pressure on independent agencies and raises fresh uncertainty about Fed independence.
The US Supreme Court has blocked President Trump's attempt to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, who faced unproven mortgage fraud allegations. The ruling preserves Fed independence for now and keeps a politically charged removal case alive in the courts.
President Trump has said he will fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell if Powell stays on beyond his mid-May term expiration. The threat directly challenges the Federal Reserve's institutional independence, a pillar assumption for Treasury, dollar, and global credit markets. Mid-May now marks a hard deadline for White House act
