The White House has redoubled its efforts to remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve’s board, sending the central banker a letter this week providing formal notice of its intentions. The letter gave Cook a 21-day deadline to respond to the allegations. The extraordinary step follows a Supreme Court decision in June that blocked President Donald Trump from firing Cook but opened a potential alternative legal pathway for her removal. “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,” stated attorneys Abbe Lowell and Norm Eisen. Trump first attempted to fire Cook in August 2025 in a letter posted to his Truth Social account.
