特朗普政府要求上诉法院加快对下级法院让丽莎·库克继续担任美联储州长的命令的挑战。
在周四早些时候的一份文件中，司法部律师敦促华盛顿巡回法院在9月15日之前决定是否暂停法院命令，这比联邦公开市场委员会计划的会议提前了一天。
本周早些时候，美国地区法官贾·科布(Jia Cobb)得出结论，针对库克的抵押贷款欺诈指控并没有提供足够的理由解除她的职务，部分原因是这些指控发生在她任职之前。
然而，特朗普政府辩称，这些指控“至少反映了总统在财务问题上缺乏关注，这与库克在美联储董事会担任公共财务信托职位不相符。”
The Trump Administration is asking an appeals court to expedite its challenge to a lower court's order keeping Lisa Cook as a Federal Reserve Governor.
In a filing earlier Thursday, Department of Justice lawyers urged the D.C. Circuit to decide whether to stay the court order by Sept. 15 – one day ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee's scheduled meeting.
Earlier this week, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb concluded that the allegations of mortgage fraud against Cook did not provide sufficient cause to remove her from her role, in part because the claims predate her time in office.
However, the Trump administration argued the allegations "at a minimum reflect a lack of care in financial matters that the President determined was inconsistent with Cook's holding a position of public financial trust on the Federal Reserve Board."
