Last night a Joe Biden appointee protected Lisa Cook in her job at the Federal Reserve, ruling that she must remain there as her case plays out.
President Trump has already moved to appeal this ruling:
President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday moved quickly to appeal a federal judge’s ruling temporarily blocking Trump from taking the unprecedented step of firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.
The U.S. Department of Justice filed a brief notice that it was appealing the ruling from late Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, who said Trump’s claims that Cook committed mortgage fraud prior to taking office were likely not sufficient grounds for her removal.
Trump moved to fire Cook in late August, but the Fed has said she remains in her position. Cobb’s ruling prevents the Fed from following through on Cook’s firing while her lawsuit moves forward.
White House spokesperson Kush Desai on Wednesday, before the appeal was filed, said that Trump had lawfully removed Cook for cause over the mortgage allegations and that “this ruling will not be the last say on the matter.”
Cook, who denies any wrongdoing, sued in late August saying Trump’s claim she engaged in mortgage fraud before she joined the central bank did not give him legal authority to remove her, and was a pretext to fire her for her monetary policy stance.
The DC Appeals Court has ruled in favor of Trump recently and hopefully they’ll do so again.
