President Trump tried to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook over mortgage allegations, but legal experts say the case may land in the Supreme Court.

🚨 Breaking News
Trump’s first ever attempt to fire a Fed governor could reshape central bank independence, with Cook fighting back through lawsuits and appeals.

⚡Wire Simplified

  • Trump claims Cook lied on past mortgage applications.

  • Cook says firing is illegal, she’s not leaving.

  • Supreme Court may decide what “for cause” actually means.

  • If Trump succeeds, he gains majority control over Fed board.

  • That means more Trump picks, possibly pushing lower rates.

✔️ Straight to the Point
This showdown is not just about Cook, it is about whether presidents can control the Fed. Supreme Court’s verdict could rewrite history.
