Supreme Court halts Trump's firing of Fed's Lisa Cook

The Supreme Court has temporarily halted President Trump's attempt to dismiss Federal Reserve board member Lisa Cook in a landmark 5-4 decision, allowing her to stay in her position as her legal battle progresses. Trump made history as the first president to try firing a Fed board member, targeting Cook last year amid allegations involving her mortgage practices. This ruling underscores the judiciary's role in safeguarding individual rights against executive overreach and highlights the ongoing scrutiny of the Fed's independence amidst political pressures.
