**President Trump’s renewed August 2026 effort to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook centers on longstanding allegations of mortgage fraud first raised in 2025, now framed through formal notice-and-response procedures required by the Supreme Court.** In early August, the White House sent Cook a letter giving her until August 26 to contest claims that she listed two properties as primary residences on loan applications, which the administration says constitutes sufficient “cause” under the Federal Reserve Act. Cook’s attorneys responded by denying the allegations as unfounded and politically motivated. The June 29, 2026 Supreme Court ruling (5-4) blocked an earlier direct firing attempt, emphasizing statutory due-process protections and the Fed’s structural independence while leaving open the possibility of a properly noticed removal proceeding. Lower-court litigation on the merits of “cause” continues, with Cook’s term running through 2038. Traders are weighing the pace of judicial review, any further White House steps, scheduled FOMC meetings, and broader questions of presidential authority over independent agencies.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump publicly and unequivocally announces that he is removing Lisa Cook as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, or takes formal action toward doing so, such as issuing a directive or formal request, between market creation and the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
Statements which are contingent (e.g. “Cook must step down”), statements of intent (e.g.“I am planning to fire Cook) or other informal statements which are not unequivocal will not qualify.
If Lisa Cook resigns or otherwise formally departs her role as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors prior to a qualifying action, this market will immediately resolve to "No".
The resolution source will be official information from Donald Trump; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
