President Donald Trump threatened to fire Governor Lisa Cook if she doesn't resign amid a DOJ investigation into allegations Cook committed mortgage fraud.
President Trump said he would fire Lisa Cook, a Federal Reserve governor, if she did not resign. But his ability to fire a Fed governor is limited.
Cook, the first Black woman to serve on the Fed board, said she had "no intention of being bullied to step down" after Trump called for her resignation.
Senator Elizabeth Warren condemned Trump’s threats on Friday, saying his attacks on Cook are unlawful and politically motivated.
There will be some 300,000 fewer federal workers on the government payroll by the end of December than there were in January, according to the Trump administration’s top human resources official.
