In an unsigned order, the Supreme Court delayed until January its decision on the president’s attempt to immediately remove Cook. The Federal Reserve official President Donald Trump attempted to fire in August can keep her job until at least January 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court said in an Oct. 1 order. Through its order, the high court is deferring action on Trump's request to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook while her lawsuit challenging her termination plays out. On Sept. 9, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb allowed Cook to keep her position at the Fed while the legal dispute played out. At that time, the high court will hear oral arguments on the issue of whether Cook can continue to stay at the Fed while her lawsuit proceeds.
