In an unprecedented move, U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered the removal of Governor Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Trump claims the criminal investigation into her properties warrants dismissal.

However, Cook denies wrongdoing and plans to fight back, arguing that the President lacks legal authority to fire her under the Federal Reserve Act.

This controversial firing raises questions about political interference and could set a new legal precedent as it potentially heads to the Supreme Court.
