For months, Trump has pressed the federal reserve to reduce rates to help stimulate the country’s economic growth. Fed observers expect the central bank to reduces rates during the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).

The decision of the DC Court of Appeal also occurs while the Senate narrowly voted 48-47 Monday evening to approve the candidate of the Board of Directors of the Trump Fed, Stephen Miran. He will also participate in the FOMC meeting which will help decide on the management of economy.

Trump last month hit Miran – who currently heads the White House economic advisers’ council – to fill the vacant seat by the governor of the Federal Reserve Adriana Kugler, following his resignation in August. He will finish the rest of Kugler’s mandate, which ends on January 31, 2026.

Last week, the judge of the American district court Jia Cobb temporarily blocked Cook’s shooting, allowing him to continue his current role for the moment. She said Trump had probably violated the rights of the regular cook procedure and that the status of the federal reserve does not take into account the conduct that occurred before a governor takes up his duties, such as alleged mortgage fraud against Cook.

The allegations are from Bill Pulte, a named against the Federal Agency which regulates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Pulte attached Cook to a trio of properties of Michigan, Georgia and Massachusetts, which caused a meticulous exam to know if Cook had distorted the way the houses would be used. The three mortgage loans were granted in 2021, before it was appointed by the former president Joe Biden To join the Fed Board of Directors.

Pulte made two separate references to the Ministry of Justice for Cook Mortgage Requests.

Trump seized these allegations and ousted Cook on August 25, which prompted him to prosecute him before the Federal Court three days later. His trial was appointed defendant Trump, the Council of Governors of the Federal Reserve system and the president of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell.

The costume, which was laid On August 28, centered on the question of whether Trump satisfied the “cause” provisions under the federal law required to withdraw an exercise governor, is the first of its kind. The Cook’s trial does not deal with allegations according to which it has listed several houses as a main residence on mortgage documents.

The Ministry of Justice opened a criminal investigation September 4 in Cook on allegations of fraud on mortgage demand. Her lawyer, Abbe Lowell, wrote in a file on September 2 that she “had never committed mortgage fraud”.

Cook’s lawyers also stressed both in legal deposits and in the arguments before the COBB judge last month, the novelty of Trump’s attempt to list it – a decision they supported lack sufficient cause and could be used as a dangerous pretext to oust other members of independent federal councils.
