Trump renews bid to remove Fed governor Lisa Cook

Reported · Written up by our desk · Central Banks

MarketWatch reports that two months after the Supreme Court blocked an earlier attempt, President Donald Trump has renewed an effort to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook.

The renewed move is framed as part of a broader effort to reshape the central bank board by installing more allies.
