Fed Governor Lisa Cook Sues President Trump to Stop Him from Firing Her (WJS. 20250828)
Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook has sued President Trump seeking to block his move to fire her from the Central Bank. The lawsuit which was filed in Washington D.C. Federal District Court alleges Trump violated the law by attempting to remove Cook from her post without a valid reason. The case sets up an unprecedented legal battle testing Trump's power over the independent Central Bank's seven-member board. Earlier this week, Trump said he was prepared for a legal fight. The lawsuit also names Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and the Fed Board as defendants. The Fed didn't immediately return a request for comment. Surveys of households and businesses showed that confidence in the Eurozone's economic outlook fell back as sluggish growth weighed on sentiment. The European Commission said today that its economic sentiment indicator for the currency area edged down to 95.2 this month from 95.7 in July, thwarting economists expectations of a slight uptick in sentiment. Consumer confidence fell back, as did sentiment in industry and construction. And Russia launched a deadly barrage across Ukraine today. The large-scale attack, which left at least 18 people dead, resulted in the worst death toll in Kiev since President Trump held talks in Alaska earlier this month with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The strike hit Ukrainian civil infrastructure as well as offices of the European Union and the British Council. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the barrage, "A horrific and deliberate killing of civilians."

Cook은 정당한 사유 없이 자신을 해임하려는 트럼프에 대해 파월 의장 및 연준도 피고에 포함시켰음. 연준의 독립성을 두고 대통령과 연준이 법정 소송을 하는 것은 이번이 처음임. 트럼프는 소송에 대응할 준비가 되었다고 언급함. 한편 유럽 소비자 및 기업 신뢰 지수가 하락했음. 지난 달 95.7에서 이번 달 95.2로 하락하며 지수가 상승할 것이라는 기대가 빗나감. 한편 러시아가 우크라이나를 대규모 공격해 최소 18명이 사망했음. 이번 달 초 미-러 정상회담 후 가장 높은 사망자 수치임. 민간 인프라와 EU 사무소, 영국문화원도 공격받았음. 우크라이나 대통령은 "민간인을 겨냥한 참혹하고 의도적인 공격"이었다고 언급함
