The US Supreme Court blocks President Donald Trump’s attempt to immediately remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, with the decision framed as protecting due process and the Fed’s independence from presidential control. Multiple outlets report that the Court rules Trump must provide notice and a hearing before Cook can be removed, and that the fight over the removal therefore continues in lower courts rather than being resolved right away. Several sources also describe the ruling as unconstitutional because it limits the president’s authority to fire a Fed governor without cause. Reporting notes that the Court’s action is a setback for Trump, who has alleged Cook committed mortgage fraud and has criticized the Fed’s interest-rate pace. Other coverage adds that, in the same term, the Supreme Court issues a separate ruling affecting presidential power over other independent federal agencies, though it does not change the immediate outcome for Cook. Because the Court’s decision keeps the matter alive and leaves procedural questions for further proceedings, Cook remains in her role while she challenges the removal effort.
