YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Supreme Court on Wednesday morning will weigh whether President Trump can legally oust Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors over accusations of mortgage fraud.
The oral arguments come as Trump has sought to reshape independent agencies that have long enjoyed protections against the president’s firing authority. Also looming over the case is the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who is expected to attend the arguments, sources told The Hill’s sister network NewsNation.
The high court’s conservative majority has appeared sympathetic to Trump’s efforts to nix firing protections at other independent agencies, including the Federal Trade Commission and National Labor Relations Board. But the justices have suggested they view the nation’s central bank as possessing special status.
The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EST.
