Supreme Court lets Fed Governor Lisa Cook keep job pending oral argument in January
- The Supreme Court allowed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to remain in her position while it decides if President Trump can fire her, deferring a decision until January oral arguments.
- This legal conflict began when Trump dismissed Cook in late August, citing accusations of mortgage fraud as justification under the Federal Reserve Act, though Cook denies these claims and characterizes them as fabricated.
- The case centers on whether the president can remove Fed governors without cause and if courts can block such firings, with the Fed's independence and its key economic role emphasized in arguments.
- Cook’s lawyers argued removal threatens the economy and that she must receive official notice and a hearing, while the Justice Department asserted presidential justification for firing is not reviewable by courts.
- The court’s deferral maintains longstanding Fed independence for now and sets up a critical constitutional question likely to be resolved before June, with oral arguments scheduled for January.
