联邦法官暂时阻止特朗普总统试图罢免联储理事丽莎·库克
摘要
一名联邦法官发布初步禁令，阻止特朗普总统罢免联邦储备理事丽莎·库克，理由是可能违反《联邦储备法》和正当程序权利。
一名联邦法官已暂时阻止特朗普总统将联邦储备理事丽莎·库克免职的努力。美国地区法官贾·科布批准了初步禁令，认定总统的这一尝试可能违反了《联邦储备法》，该法规定联储理事只能因“正当理由”被免职。
政府方面对库克的指控涉及她在2021年提交的一份抵押贷款申请中涉嫌虚假陈述，该时间点早于她在联储的任职。科布法官强调，即使这些指控成立，也不符合免职所需的“正当理由”标准，因为这些行为发生在她被任命之前。
库克于2022年被任命，是首位担任联储理事的黑人女性，她否认这些指控，称这是基于政策分歧的借口。她的律师阿比·洛威尔表示，此裁决“确认并重申了保护联邦储备免受非法政治干预独立性的重要性”。
据报道，司法部正在调查抵押贷款欺诈指控，已发出大陪审团传票。白宫和联储对此裁决尚未发表评论。
这场法律争斗凸显了对联邦储备独立性的担忧，因为总统试图影响中央银行的政策。此案最终可能上诉至最高法院，或为总统对联储权力的限制树立先例。
