The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that President Donald Trump cannot remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. In a 5-4 decision, the court upheld the central bank's independence, preventing Trump from being the first president to dismiss a Fed official since its creation in 1913. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, stated that Cook was not afforded the proper statutory procedural protections. While the ruling preserves the Fed's independence, it leaves open the possibility that the president could attempt removal again if the correct process is followed. AI
