Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook has filed a lawsuit against the White House, suing the administration of Donald Trump over her firing. Court documents published on Thursday state that Cook's legal case will challenge "President Trump's unprecedented and illegal attempt" to remove her from her position. The removal represented the first firing in the 112-year history of the US central bank institution. The lawsuit seeks to contest the legality of the dismissal and to assert legal protections for central bank governors facing presidential removal attempts.
