Trump administration moves ahead with efforts to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook
- The Trump administration is pursuing efforts to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook over mortgage fraud allegations.
- The Supreme Court allowed Cook to retain her position while she contests the president's attempt to terminate her.
- Cook has denied the allegations and claims they are politically motivated.
- A White House aide informed Cook that Trump is considering her removal and has given her a deadline to challenge it.
- The allegations stem from a criminal referral accusing Cook of declaring two homes as her primary residence.
The Trump administration is moving forward with efforts to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, two months after the Supreme Court ruled she could keep her job while contesting the president's attempt to terminate her over mortgage fraud allegations. Cook has denied the allegations, asserting they are politically motivated.
The Supreme Court's 5-4 decision in June allowed Cook to remain in her position as she fights the termination. Chief Justice John Roberts noted that nothing prevents President Trump from trying again to fire Cook, provided she is given proper notice.
In a letter obtained by the Associated Press, White House aide Dan Scavino informed Cook that Trump is considering her removal and has given her until August 26 to challenge it. The allegations against Cook relate to a criminal referral claiming she declared two homes as her primary residence, which could have implications for mortgage benefits.
Cook's defense argues that her declarations were accurate based on her living arrangements and that the allegations are baseless. Her lawyer stated that they will challenge any attempts to remove her from the Federal Reserve.
特朗普政府推进解雇联邦储备委员会理事丽莎·库克的努力
特朗普政府正在推进解雇联邦储备委员会理事丽莎·库克的努力，此举发生在最高法院裁定她可以在对总统解雇尝试提出异议期间保留职位的两个月后。库克否认了这些指控，称其出于政治动机。
最高法院在六月以5-4的裁决允许库克在与解雇相关的诉讼期间保留职位。首席法官约翰·罗伯茨指出，特朗普总统可以再次尝试解雇库克，只要给予她适当的通知。
在一封获得美联社的信件中，白宫助理丹·斯卡维诺告知库克，特朗普正在考虑解除她的职务，并给她设定了8月26日的最后期限以进行挑战。对库克的指控与一份刑事转介有关，声称她将两处房产都声明为主要居所，这可能影响抵押贷款福利。
库克的辩护称，她的声明基于她的居住安排是准确的，并且这些指控毫无根据。她的律师表示，他们将挑战任何试图解除她在联邦储备委员会职位的行为。
