President Donald Trump renewed efforts to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook in early August 2026 by directing a formal notice letter citing allegations of mortgage fraud from 2021, when she listed separate properties as primary residences. This follows the Supreme Court’s June 29, 2026, 5-4 ruling that blocked an earlier removal attempt and required due process before any “for cause” action under the Federal Reserve Act. Cook has denied the claims, which remain unproven in court, and her 14-year term extends to 2038. The development tests limits on presidential authority over independent agencies while litigation continues, with traders monitoring responses to the 21-day deadline, further court filings, and any escalation in the removal process.

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.
