Former President Donald Trump’s legal challenge against the Federal Reserve’s authority took a pivotal turn as the Supreme Court announced it will hear arguments in January. At the heart of the dispute is Trump’s attempt to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook, a move that has sparked a fierce debate over the limits of presidential power. Legal experts suggest this case could redefine the delicate balance between the executive branch and an independent financial institution, potentially setting a historic precedent.

Key issues the Court is expected to examine include:

  • Presidential authority over independent agencies
  • The scope of removal protections for Federal Reserve governors
  • Implications for central bank independence and economic policy
