Supreme Court halts Trump’s firing of Fed’s Lisa Cook

The Supreme Court blocked President Trump's firing of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook in a 5-4 decision, allowing her to remain in office while her legal challenge proceeds. The ruling addresses whether Trump has constitutional authority to remove Fed governors without cause—a question of first impression in the institution's 112-year history. The Hill's reporting, attributed to named journalist Zach Schonfeld, aligns with corroboration from The Guardian (which notes the unconstitutionality finding), USA Today, and Bloomberg, all reporting the same core holding. Watch for the Court's full reasoning in its written opinion, which will clarify the scope of presidential removal powers over independent agencies—a decision with implications well beyond the Fed.
