- According to a letter first reported by ABC News, the White House told Cook that Trump was considering removing her over the same mortgage-fraud allegations and requested a written response within three weeks.
- The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in June that Cook could remain in office while contesting Trump’s allegations because she had not received the procedural protections required by law.
- Cook’s lawyer Abbe D Lowell rejected the allegations and said the latest move would also be challenged.
- Joe Biden appointed Cook in 2022 to a 14-year term lasting until 2038, making her the first Black woman to serve as a Federal Reserve governor.
Without such protections, she could not properly dispute the charges the president laid against her.— Supreme Court majority opinion (the justices) – in the ruling upholding Cook’s stay and noting that the president failed to provide her with procedural protections.
