President Donald Trump has renewed his effort to fire Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors. The Supreme Court on June 29 temporarily thwarted Trump’s initial effort to remove Cook, emphasizing the need for the Federal Reserve to remain free of political influence. In a letter dated Aug. 5, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino notified Cook that Trump was “considering” whether to remove her from the Board of Governors. Cook has strongly disputed the mortgage fraud allegations, and other financial records appear to undermine the Trump administration’s claims. No matter what President Trump tries to do next, this much is clear under the facts and Supreme Court precedent — there is no valid cause for removing Governor Cook.
