President Donald Trump on Friday asked a judge to deny a request by Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook to issue an injunction barring Trump from firing her.
The Fed, in a separate court filing, took no position on Cook’s lawsuit challenging her termination by the president, but asked the judge to issue a “prompt ruling” to resolve the dispute.
The filings came about two hours before a scheduled hearing in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., on Cook’s request for a temporary restraining order that would block Trump from removing her.
