The U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs published a statement from Ranking Member Elizabeth Warren arguing that the Supreme Court agreed the attempt to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook was illegal. Warren framed the outcome as a failed effort to oust senior Federal Reserve officials, saying attempts to fire both Cook and Jerome Powell had not succeeded. In the same statement, Warren called for Bill Pulte to be removed from his acting roles as Director of National Intelligence and Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. She also said efforts to take control of the U.S. central bank were continuing.
