TRUMP IS TRYING TO FIRE LISA COOK AGAIN. HE STILL WANTS TO STACK THE FED WITH HIS ALLIES.

Two months after a Supreme Court ruling blocked his previous attempts, President Donald Trump has resumed his effort to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from the central bank's board, according to MarketWatch.com – Top Stories. The move is part of an attempt to reshape the Fed’s leadership with more politically aligned members.

The renewed push follows the court’s decision that restricted the president’s authority to remove Fed officials. While MarketWatch does not provide direct quotes, the report notes that Trump’s continued attacks on the central bank underscore his broader strategy to influence monetary policy through board appointments. The effort has attracted coverage from Reuters and the Washington Post, both confirming that Trump remains determined to alter the Fed’s composition despite judicial limits.

The Federal Reserve’s board plays a crucial role in setting U.S. monetary policy; changes to its makeup can affect inflation, employment and financial stability. Trump’s attempts to replace Cook highlight the ongoing tension between the executive branch and the central bank’s independence.

• Trump resumed his bid to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook after a Supreme Court ruling blocked earlier attempts.
