Trump Renews Threat to Fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook After Supreme Court Ruling

President Trump has renewed his threat to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook following a Supreme Court ruling. The ruling stated that Fed officials can only be fired for cause, limiting the president's ability to remove them at will. Despite this, Trump vowed to take immediate action against Cook, whom he had previously attempted to remove from her position. Trump's statement suggests he may try to find grounds for firing Cook that align with the court's requirements.
