US Supreme Court blocks Trump's firing of Fed governor in blow to White House

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday blocked President Donald Trump from being able to immediately fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over mortgage fraud allegations, a blow to his expansive view of presidential powers.

In a narrow 5-4 ruling, the court said that the president cannot remove officials at the independent Fed "for any reason or not reason."
