CNBC and Axios also weighed in on the situation, underscoring the uncertainty and legal questions surrounding Cook’s removal.
The unprecedented nature of Trump’s decision to fire a Federal Reserve Board Governor has raised questions about the limits of presidential power and the independence of key financial institutions.
