Supreme Court punts on future Fed firings
The Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump to attempt firing Federal Reserve officials but blocked his removal of Fed Governor Lisa Cook, citing due process violations. The Court did not define the grounds for future Fed firings, leaving the issue unresolved. Trump has vowed to try again, and experts suggest the ruling does not fully protect Federal Reserve independence.
