President Trump has created a committee to investigate Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook as part of his broader effort to remove her from the central bank, following a related Supreme Court ruling. The move raises questions about central bank independence and could have implications for Fed Chair Jerome Powell and future interest rate decisions. The push against Cook is seen as part of a wider pattern of political pressure on the Fed under the Trump administration, with analysts warning that undermining the Fed's independence could affect monetary policy credibility and market confidence.
