US Fed Governor Lisa Cook sues Trump over his attempt to fire her
US Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook has filed a lawsuit against former President Donald Trump over his attempted removal of her from her position. The incident took place last week when Trump sent a letter to Cook, notifying her of his decision to terminate her from the Federal Reserve due to alleged incompetence. Cook, who was appointed by President Joe Biden in 2021, has denied the allegations and accused Trump of trying to interfere with the independence of the Federal Reserve.
In response to the lawsuit, Trump’s legal team has stated that the former president has the authority to remove Federal Reserve governors for cause, and they argue that Cook’s performance justified her removal. They have also raised questions about Cook’s loyalty to the previous administration, suggesting that she may not align with the current government’s economic policies.
Cook, a respected economist and the first Black woman to serve as a Federal Reserve governor, has emphasized the importance of the Federal Reserve’s independence from political influence. She has expressed concerns that Trump’s actions could undermine the central bank’s credibility and negatively impact the economy.
The lawsuit is expected to spark a legal battle over the limits of presidential power in appointing and removing Federal Reserve governors, with implications for the institution’s autonomy and its ability to make impartial monetary policy decisions.
