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.
- The Supreme Court allowed Cook to retain her job while she contests the president's termination efforts.
- Cook has denied allegations of mortgage fraud that are the basis for her potential firing.
- The White House has informed Cook that Trump is considering her removal, providing her a chance to contest it.
- Cook's lawyer argues that her actions regarding her residences were not intended to defraud.
The Trump administration is moving forward with efforts to remove Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, two months after the Supreme Court allowed her to keep her position while she challenges the president's attempt to terminate her over mortgage fraud allegations.
The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, ruled that Cook could remain in her role at least until her lawsuit regarding her firing is resolved. Chief Justice John Roberts noted that President Trump could try again to fire Cook if proper notice is given.
In a recent letter, White House aide Dan Scavino informed Cook that Trump is considering her removal, allowing her until August 26 to respond. The allegations against Cook stem from a criminal referral that accused her of declaring two homes as her primary residence to secure better mortgage rates.
Cook has defended herself against these allegations, stating that they are baseless and politically motivated. Her lawyer argues that her references to the properties were accurate based on her living arrangements and do not constitute fraud.
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允许她在对总统解雇尝试提出异议的同时保留职位两个月后。
最高法院以5-4的裁决表示，库克至少可以在她的解雇诉讼解决之前继续担任职务。首席大法官约翰·罗伯茨指出，特朗普如果给予适当的通知，可以再次尝试解雇库克。
在最近的一封信中，白宫助手丹·斯卡维诺告知库克，特朗普正在考虑解除她的职务，并给予她直到8月26日的时间进行回应。针对库克的指控源于一项刑事转介，指控她将两处房产声明为主要住所以获得更好的抵押贷款利率。
库克对这些指控进行了辩护，称其毫无根据且具有政治动机。她的律师辩称，她对这些房产的描述是基于她的居住安排，且并不构成欺诈。
