The ruler of the Federal Reserve, Lisa Cook, filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump for an attempt to shoot it, which led to a possible legal battle over the independence of the US Central Bank.
Cook asked the court to announce the order to shoot Trump “illegal and invalid”, and the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell appointed and the Conservative Council as defendants.
Trump said that there is a “sufficient reason” to believe that Cook made false statements on her mortgage, and pointed to constitutional powers he said to allow him to remove her.
This step is likely to prepare a number of legal challenges that may end in the US Supreme Court.
