The reporting
President Donald Trump renewed his effort to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, with an Aug. 5 White House letter saying he is considering firing her over alleged false statements on mortgage agreements. The letter, signed by deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino, directed Cook to submit a written response and evidence within 21 days. The move follows a June Supreme Court order that allowed Cook to remain in office while contesting Trump's earlier removal attempt. Cook has denied the mortgage-fraud allegations.
