Trump vuelve a la carga para despedir a Lisa Cook de la Fed, pese a la oposición del Supremo

US President Donald Trump is attempting to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from her position, despite opposition from the Supreme Court. The White House sent a letter to Cook on August 5, informing her that Trump is considering her removal over unproven allegations of mortgage fraud. Cook has denied these allegations.

According to the letter, signed by Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, Cook has 21 days to respond to the allegations. The move is part of Trump's ongoing effort to challenge the independence of the Federal Reserve. In June, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump did not have the power to dismiss Fed governors for any reason, but allowed him to try again with proper notice.

The allegations against Cook were made by Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, who accused her of committing mortgage fraud. Cook's lawyer has called the allegations "baseless" and stated that there is no valid cause for her removal. The Supreme Court previously allowed Cook to retain her job while she fights Trump's effort to terminate her.
