President Trump has renewed efforts to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, first appointed in 2022 and reappointed to a term ending in 2038, over longstanding mortgage fraud allegations from 2021. After the Supreme Court’s 5-4 June 2026 ruling blocked an earlier August 2025 termination attempt and stressed limits on political interference with the central bank, the White House issued a formal August 2026 notice giving Cook 21 days to respond before any new removal decision. This procedural step follows the court’s emphasis on due process under the Federal Reserve Act’s “for cause” standard. Traders are weighing the administration’s next moves against potential further litigation, Cook’s legal response, and the balance between executive authority and institutional independence of the Board of Governors.

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.
