Zhito Finance APP has learned that U.S. President Trump's personnel offensive surrounding the Federal Reserve Board has escalated once again. The White House issued a presidential memorandum on October 7, announcing the formation of an investigative committee and arranging a closed-door White House hearing to determine whether there is "just cause" to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from office. The hearing is scheduled for November 5 local time, two days after the congressional election voting ends. This move not only pushes Cook herself into a rare legal battle, but also reignites outside concerns about the Federal Reserve's independence.
