President Trump Establishes White House Committee to Investigate Fed Governor Lisa Cook
Just the facts
President Donald Trump established a White House committee to consult with Justice Department officials and determine whether cause exists to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. The White House scheduled an in-person, closed hearing for November 5, 2026, where Cook will be permitted to present evidence and submit a written statement. The legal proceeding follows a June ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that found Trump's initial attempt to fire Cook was unconstitutional for failing to provide due process. Legal representatives for Cook maintained that allegations regarding Georgia and Michigan primary residence disclosures resulted from clerical errors rather than intentional fraud.
