Bloomberg Law

The US Supreme Court ruled that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook can stay in her job for now, reinforcing the central bank’s independence from the White House and dealing a setback to President Donald Trump.
In a separate ruling, the court expanded the president’s power to fire top government officials at other federal agencies.
Voting 5-4, the high court said Cook can remain at the Fed while she fights Trump’s bid to oust her over unproven mortgage fraud allegations. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined the three liberals in the majority.
