Roberts Seeks Cook's Response by Sept. 25 on Trump's Bid to Oust Her from Fed

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has ordered Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to respond by September 25 to President Donald Trump's request to remove her from office, marking the latest escalation in this political and judicial clash. Since Trump announced his intent to dismiss Cook in late August, the dispute has triggered multiple court battles, centering on the extent of presidential interference in the Fed's independence.

Lower courts and appeals panels have previously rejected Trump's emergency motions, citing insufficient 'for cause' grounds, such as unproven mortgage fraud allegations against Cook that do not relate to her performance in office. As the first African American woman on the Fed board, appointed by former President Joe Biden in 2022, Cook's role in rate decisions is pivotal, especially following the Fed's September rate cut.
