Trump cannot fire Fed’s Lisa Cook before FOMC meeting, appeals court rules

A federal appeals court ruled Monday that President Donald Trump cannot fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook before the central bank’s policy committee votes on whether to lower interest rates.

The 2-1 ruling from a panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit means that Cook, a member of the Fed’s board of governors, can participate in the pivotal two-day meeting starting Tuesday morning.

Trump’s attorneys on Thursday had submitted an emergency request to pause a lower court ruling, which barred Cook’s firing from taking effect while her lawsuit against the president’s action continues.

But they have “not satisfied the stringent requirements for a stay pending appeal,” the appellate court ruled in its brief order Monday night.

White House spokesman Kush Desai said the Trump administration will appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.

“The President lawfully removed Lisa Cook for cause. The Administration will appeal this decision and looks forward to ultimate victory on the issue,” Desai said in a statement.

Trump moved to fire Cook in late August “for cause,” citing allegations of mortgage fraud put forward by his administration’s housing finance director, Bill Pulte.

The move was unprecedented, though Trump, who wants interest rates slashed, has repeatedly shown little regard for concerns about the central bank’s independence.

He has frequently attacked Fed Chair Jerome Powell for refusing to lower rates, and at points considered trying to fire him, though the Supreme Court appeared to offer some cover for Powell in a May ruling.

Trump has backed off the threats against Powell, but he has followed through on moving to fire Cook, an appointee of former President Joe Biden who has voted in lockstep with Powell.

Cook sued to block her firing. She has denied committing mortgage fraud.

The panel of three judges handling the appeal includes J. Michelle Childs and Bradley Garcia, two appointees of former President Joe Biden, who sided against Trump’s bid for a quick stay.

U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, who blocked Cook’s firing last week, was “correct” when she ruled that Trump’s action likely violated the Constitution’s due process clause, Garcia wrote in a concurring statement.

“For that reason — and because of the myriad unique features of this case as compared to other recent challenges to presidential removals — I vote to deny the government’s emergency request for a stay pending appeal,” Garcia wrote in his concurrence, which was joined by Childs.

The third judge, Trump appointee Gregory Katsas, said in a dissenting statement that would have granted the president’s request.

Katsas said he disagreed with Cobb’s findings that Cook cannot be removed for conduct that predated her appointment to the Fed, and that she has a constitutionally protected property interest in her office.

“In my view, both holdings are mistaken, and the equitable balance here tips in favor of the government,” Katsas wrote. “So, I would grant the government’s motion for a stay pending appeal.”

@Kim how does the doj not tell trump that by firing any prosecutor who hasn't found made up crime will tarnish the case and create prejudice?

@StupidMoniker this is what you support ?

 

I have no idea why you tagged me in this post. I haven't read the case file for the alleged mortgage fraud, so I have no idea if the person should have been charged or not. I am not a Trump supporter. What was the nexus that connected me to this story in your head? I have no idea if the prosecutor should be fired or not. If they are corruptly protecting someone, they should. If they came to a conclusion on their own review of the facts, they shouldn't. Prosecutors have broad discretion.

 

The US attorney still needs to find ample evidence to get a grand jury to indict her which the Trump appointed US attorney said he could not find. There was no fraud.

I tagged you cuz you loved to paint the democratic party as some big socialist government but no government has infringed and violated the constitution than Trump. Nobody has weaponized the government anywhere close to what Trump is doing.

 

I guess you missed it, but I have also criticized the Republicans for being big government. Trump sent out bigger checks than Biden. Trump and Biden are by far the biggest spenders of any presidents in history (adjusted for inflation, other terrible presidents like FDR are in the mix as well).

 

Trump and others about to F*** around and find out and end up electing someone like FDR this next decade. Perhaps it will save this country and help out with the income inequality that unemcumbered capitalism that's bringing this country to its knees.

 

It's not surprising and it's norm-breaking, but arguably allowable. It's his DOJ. Look, I think Trump should be in prison (and also Biden, but less time), but selective prosecution is within his power. It's also a big reason any defense could point to in order to say it's a sham case.

 

FDR was so terrible he won four consecutive terms...but haters gonna hate.

 

Trump has quite the track record in court cases ...


'Improper' and 'tedious': Judge tosses Trump’s NYT lawsuit in scathing ruling

Early Friday afternoon, September 19, the news broke that a federal judge appointed by the late President George H.W. Bush had struck down President Donald Trump's civil lawsuit against the New York Times.

On X, Politico's Josh Gerstein reported, "Fed judge strikes Trump's libel suit v. NYT. Judge Steven Merryday (GHWB appointee) says suit 'unmistakably [and] inexcusably' violates court rules. 'A complaint is...not a protected platform to rage against an adversary.' Trump can refile."

X users were quick to respond to Merryday's ruling.

ABC News' Jonathan Karl tweeted, "The judge has tossed out President Trump's $15 billion lawsuit against the New York Times, writing, quote, '...the complaint is decidedly improper and impermissible.' The president has 28 days to amend and refile. The ruling is quite a read."​
