Trump says he's removing Fed governor Lisa Cook | LiveNOW from FOX

Описание: President Donald Trump said Monday that he's removing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, alleging she lied on mortgage forms by declaring two primary residences.

In a letter to Cook, Trump pointed the Federal Reserve Act, saying she can be removed at his discretion.

"In light of your deceitful and potentially criminal conduct in a financial matter, they cannot, and I do not have such confidence in your integrity," Trump wrote. "At a minimum, the conduct at issue exhibits the sort of gross negligence in financial transactions that calls into question your competence and trustworthiness as a financial regulator."

Cook responded late Monday night, saying Trump "purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."
