Trump Targets Federal Reserve Governor Again with New Allegations
President Donald Trump is once again targeting Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, just weeks after the Supreme Court blocked his previous attempt to remove her. The White House has formally notified Cook that Trump is considering removing her from the Federal Reserve Board, citing new allegations of misconduct.
The administration alleges that Cook made false statements on mortgage documents tied to several properties before she joined the Fed. However, Cook's legal team has repeatedly denied these claims as baseless and maintains that they do not constitute grounds for removal under federal law.
Cook's attorney, Abbe Lowell, dismissed the latest allegations, arguing that they are legally unfounded and represent another attempt to undermine the Federal Reserve's independence. He emphasized that there is no valid cause for removing Cook and that her position will be preserved through legal challenges.
