Trump Asks SCOTUS for Emergency Order to Remove Lisa Cook from Federal Reserve Board of Governors

HeadlineSep 19, 2025

President Trump has asked the Supreme Court for an emergency order to remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. An appeals court earlier this week rejected to unseat Cook, ahead of the Federal Reserve’s vote to lower interest rates. Trump’s attempt to fire Cook is the first time a president has tried to remove a current Fed governor in the agency’s 112-year history.
