联邦储备局在呼吁理事辞职的政治压力中挣扎
摘要
特朗普总统因抵押贷款欺诈指控要求联邦储备理事丽莎·库克辞职，引发对央行独立性的担忧。
唐纳德·特朗普总统在联邦住房金融局（FHFA）局长比尔·普尔特指控联邦储备理事丽莎·库克涉嫌抵押贷款欺诈后，呼吁她辞职。普尔特指责库克将两处房产虚假申报为主要住所，以获得优惠贷款条件。
库克由乔·拜登总统于2022年任命，并于2023年续任，任期至2038年。她否认这些指控，并表示不会被“欺凌”而辞职。目前，她正在审查自己的财务记录，以回应任何合理的关切。
司法部已敦促联邦储备主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔将库克免职。然而，鲍威尔无权在无正当理由的情况下单方面解雇理事。
此事加剧了关于联邦储备独立性的讨论。批评者认为，政府的行动可能削弱央行的自主权，而这对做出公正的经济决策至关重要。
如果库克辞职，特朗普总统将有机会任命第四位理事进入七人理事会，可能使政策倾向发生改变。
随着库克准备回应指控，联邦储备正面临日益加剧的政治压力，局势仍在不断发展。
