Lisa Cook, warning in a letter this week that President Donald Trump still wants to remove her from office despite the roadblocks he's encountered since first attempting to do so last summer. It instructed Cook to "provide a written response with your explanation for your false statements and accompanying evidence" by Aug. 26. What Cook had to say: Abbe Lowell, an attorney representing Cook, told The Associated Press that the White House's allegations "are as baseless now as they were a year ago" when Trump first moved to fire Cook. Though Cook has denied any wrongdoing, the allegations led Trump to call for her resignation. A legal win, followed by a new deadline: In its June 29 opinion, the Supreme Court affirmed the lower court's ruling barring the president from immediately removing Cook.
