The Trump administration has renewed its effort to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, according to reports, continuing a broader dispute over the central bank and its independence. The move revives an earlier attempt to fire Cook and places her position at the center of an ongoing legal and political confrontation.
The effort follows a Supreme Court ruling that has affected the administration’s ability to remove officials at independent federal agencies. The ruling has prompted the administration to restart or advance proceedings involving Cook, although the legal basis and next steps remain subject to further review.
The dispute comes as the Federal Reserve continues to operate independently in setting monetary policy. Any attempt to remove a sitting governor could have implications for the institution’s autonomy and is likely to face further legal challenges. The case also adds to tensions between the Trump administration and the central bank.
