Supreme Court says Trump can’t fire Fed governor — for now
The US Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that President Donald Trump cannot fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook while she contests mortgage fraud allegations, but also ruled 6-3 to make it easier to fire members of other independent agencies by overturning Humphrey’s Executor. The majority stated Congress must determine the Federal Reserve's treatment, and the dissenters included Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Barrett.
