Trump Renews Bid to Fire Fed Governor Over Mortgage Fraud Allegations
The Trump administration has renewed its push to oust Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, sending her a letter stating that President Donald Trump is considering removing her from her job.
This move comes despite a recent Supreme Court decision upholding the Federal Reserve's independence. The allegations against Cook concern mortgage fraud.
The White House's letter to Cook marks a renewed attempt by the Trump administration to fire her, after its first effort was blocked by the US Supreme Court.
