Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook sued President Trump to prevent her dismissal. Trump cited unsubstantiated mortgage fraud allegations as the reason for her firing, a move Cook's lawyer argues is illegal and unprecedented. The lawsuit claims Trump's action violates the Federal Reserve Act, which requires "cause" for removal. Cook maintains her innocence and seeks a court ruling affirming her position. The case is expected to reach the Supreme Court, raising questions about presidential power over the Federal Reserve.
