Trump administration moves ahead with efforts to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook
- The Trump administration is moving forward with efforts to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook.
- This follows a Supreme Court decision allowing Cook to retain her position while she contests her termination.
- Cook has been accused of mortgage fraud, which she denies, stating the allegations are politically motivated.
- The White House has given Cook until August 26 to challenge the termination notice.
- Cook's lawyer argues that her declarations regarding her residences were accurate and not intended to defraud.
The Trump administration is advancing its efforts to terminate Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, two months after the Supreme Court ruled she could keep her job while contesting her firing. The Supreme Court's 5-4 decision allowed Cook to remain in her position as she fights allegations of mortgage fraud, which she has denied.
In a letter obtained by the Associated Press, White House aide Dan Scavino informed Cook that President Trump is considering her removal but noted that she has until August 26 to challenge this decision, in accordance with the Supreme Court's requirement for proper notice.
The allegations against Cook stem from a criminal referral accusing her of declaring two homes as her primary residence to obtain lower mortgage rates. Cook has defended herself, asserting that the accusations are unfounded and politically motivated, and her lawyer has stated that her declarations were accurate and not intended to deceive.
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，此举是在最高法院裁定她可以在对解雇进行抗辩的同时保留职务的两个月后进行的。最高法院的5-4裁决允许库克在与抵押贷款欺诈的指控作斗争时继续担任她的职位，这些指控她已否认。
根据美联社获得的一封信，白宫助手丹·斯卡维诺告知库克，特朗普总统正在考虑解除她的职务，但指出她有直到8月26日的时间来对这一决定提出异议，符合最高法院对适当通知的要求。
针对库克的指控源于一项刑事推荐，指控她将两处房产声明为主要居所以获得更低的抵押贷款利率。库克为自己辩护，声称这些指控毫无根据且出于政治动机，她的律师表示，她的声明是准确的，并无意欺骗。
