美联储9月理事会人事之争：法官刚阻止库克遭罢免，司法部就上诉

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Department of Justice has appealed a ruling that temporarily blocks President Trump from removing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over alleged mortgage fraud [1][2]. Group 1: Legal Proceedings - The DOJ filed a notice to the Washington Federal Appeals Court to overturn a previous ruling by Judge Jia Cobb, which stated that Trump likely did not have "just cause" under the Federal Reserve Act to dismiss Cook [2]. - Cobb's ruling indicated that Trump's attempt to remove Cook without sufficient "just cause" could violate the Federal Reserve Act and that his social media post attempting to dismiss her may have infringed on her constitutional rights [2][3]. Group 2: Implications for Federal Reserve - The case's outcome could affect the composition of the Federal Reserve Board before the significant meeting on September 16-17, which will vote on potential interest rate cuts [3]. - If Cobb's ruling remains in effect, Cook will be able to participate in the meeting, which is crucial for monetary policy decisions [3]. Group 3: Political Context - The White House criticized Cobb's ruling, asserting that Trump acted lawfully in attempting to remove Cook due to credible allegations of mortgage fraud [4]. - Trump's allegations against Cook include claims that she misrepresented properties in Michigan and Georgia to secure better loan terms, with additional claims regarding a property in Massachusetts [4]. - The struggle over Cook's position has become a focal point for Trump's efforts to exert greater control over the Federal Reserve, as he has been advocating for interest rate cuts [4].
