Donald Trump attempts to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook
Effort to remove a Fed governor over fraud allegations.
Event Overview
President Donald Trump is attempting to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook following allegations of mortgage fraud. The White House, via Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, sent a letter notifying Cook that her removal is being considered and requesting a response by August 26. This follows a June Supreme Court ruling that blocked a previous removal attempt on procedural grounds. Cook's attorney, Abbe Lowell, has dismissed the allegations as baseless.
