WASHINGTON (September 10, 2025) – Two weeks ago, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb heard arguments over a bid to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over allegations of mortgage fraud years ago. Late on Tuesday, Judge Cobb granted Gov Cook’s request for a preliminary injunction blocking her firing while her dispute makes its way through the courts. The ruling will likely be appealed.
For more context on the matter, please consider Paul Schiff Berman, Walter S. Cox Professor of Law at the George Washington University Law School. Berman is one of the world’s foremost theorists on the interactions among legal systems and an expert on the constitution and administrative law. Berman recently spoke on the matter on his TikTok which can be viewed here.
