US District Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee on Friday morning held a hearing after fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook sued Trump.<\/p>\n

Cook asked Judge Cobb to block Trump from firing her over allegations of mortgage fraud. <\/p>\n

There was no immediate ruling from the judge after Friday\u2019s hearing.<\/p>\n

Embattled Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook filed a lawsuit<\/a> against President Trump, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell after Trump fired<\/a> her this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cPursuant to my authority under Article II of the Constitution of the United States and the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, as amended, you are hereby removed from your position on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, effective immediately,\u201d President Trump wrote in a letter to Lisa Cook.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have determined that there is sufficient cause to remove you from your position,\u201d Trump added as he cited housing regulator Bill Pulte\u2019s criminal referral on Lisa Cook for mortgage fraud \u2013 specifically occupancy fraud.<\/p>\n

Lisa Cook apparently owns three properties and she allegedly committed mortgage fraud on all three properties<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trump fires Lisa Cook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On Friday morning, Judge Cobb held an emergency hearing for more than two hours as attorneys for Lisa Cook and the DOJ argued over Cook\u2019s firing. <\/p>\n

Cook\u2019s lawyer Abbe Lowell was in court on Friday morning and attacked President Trump for making his orders and policies by \u2018tweets\u2019 after he announced Cook\u2019s firing on social media. <\/p>\n

Judge Cobb cast doubt on Trump\u2019s order firing Lisa Cook but she did not issue a ruling. Court will resume next Tuesday. <\/p>\n

\n

Judge Cobb is expressing concerns \u2014 and openly questioning \u2013 whether a President could mechanize these types of “complaints” and allegations of misconduct to stack boards with majorities<\/p>\n

More from CBS News<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

A federal judge on Friday heard arguments over a bid by Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to remain in her post despite President Trump\u2019s efforts to remove her because of allegations she made false representations on mortgage agreements several years ago.<\/p>\n

The two-hour-long hearing before U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb marked the first in-person showdown between Justice Department lawyers and Cook\u2019s legal team in the wake of her lawsuit, filed Thursday, challenging Mr. Trump\u2019s attempt to oust her from the Fed\u2019s Board of Governors. <\/p>\n

Cook\u2019s lawyers have asked the district court to issue a temporary restraining order finding Mr. Trump\u2019s purported termination of her to be unlawful and declaring that she remains a member of the Fed\u2019s seven-member Board of Governors.<\/p>\n

Cobb, appointed by former President Joe Biden, did not issue a decision from the bench. Instead, she noted that the case raises \u201cimportant questions that may be of first impression\u201d as it relates to the president\u2019s firing of a Fed governor. She repeatedly pointed to the \u201cunique functions\u201d of the central bank and the importance \u201cof this being an independent body that it is not supposed to be responsive to any type of political pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
