Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook says the Trump administration has no legal basis to remove her. Her lawyers reject Trump’s mortgage fraud allegations, arguing that an inadvertent error is not fraud and that the attacks seek to force the central bank to follow his wishes. The Supreme Court previously blocked presidents from firing Fed governors at will.

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook said she is open to raising the central bank’s short-term interest-rate target if inflation in the U.S. economy remains too high. She indicated that a failure for price pressures to begin easing could require additional monetary tightening. Cook’s comments leave a rate increase under consideration as the Fed responds to persistent inflation.
