Deep Tide TechFlow news, on August 26, according to Jin Ten Data reports, Trump dismissed Federal Reserve Board member Cook, indicating that the White House is attempting to exert more influence over the central bank. This is a legally questionable move that further threatens the political independence of the central bank. According to documents released by the White House, Trump cited Article II of the Constitution and the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, informing Cook that she was 'immediately removed from office.' If the White House successfully ousts Cook, this will be the second vacancy on the Federal Reserve Board in less than a month, providing Trump with another opportunity to shape this important group of officials.
