Summary

In August 2025 President Trump tried to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook — a first in the central bank's 111-year history — citing mortgage-fraud allegations she denies.
Lower courts blocked the removal, finding it likely violated the Federal Reserve Act's 'for cause' protection.
On June 29, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that Cook can keep her job while her case proceeds, without deciding whether Trump can ultimately fire her.

The question

The Fed's independence must be protected from presidential firings.
