Supreme Court lets Lisa Cook remain as a Federal Reserve governor for now

The Supreme Court will allow Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to remain in her position while her challenge to President Trump's firing attempt proceeds. The court declined an emergency appeal to immediately remove Cook, opting instead to hear arguments in January. This decision temporarily preserves the status quo at the Fed, emphasizing its independence. Cook, appointed by President Biden, has denied allegations of mortgage fraud used as justification for her dismissal. The case is part of a broader legal fight over presidential authority to fire officials from independent agencies.
