A U.S. judge is scheduled to hold a hearing this Friday on Cook's lawsuit against Trump.

Jinse Finance reported, citing CNBC, that a judge has scheduled a hearing for Friday to consider a request from Federal Reserve Governor Cook to block Trump from firing her. The hearing was arranged just hours after Cook sued Trump, challenging his decision to remove her. The case has been assigned to federal judge Jia Cobb, who was appointed by former President Biden at the end of 2021. Cook is asking Cobb to declare Trump’s removal order “illegal and invalid” and to confirm that she remains a member of the board. She also hopes the judge will rule that the allegations regarding mortgages do not constitute “just cause.”
