Fed Governor Lisa Cook seems safe from Trump firing after Supreme Court arguments

Key Points
  • The Supreme Court began hearing oral arguments over whether President Donald Trump has the power to fire Lisa Cook as a Federal Reserve governor for uncharged allegations that she committed mortgage fraud.
  • The case could have long-term effects on the Fed’s independence in setting interest rates.
  • The arguments come less than two weeks after Fed Chair Jerome Powell disclosed he was under criminal investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C., over the central bank’s pricey building renovation project.
