We will be filing a lawsuit' - Cook's lawyer Lowell
“President #Trump has no authority to remove #FederalReserve Governor #LisaCook. His attempt to fire her, based solely on a referral letter, lacks any factual or legal basis. We will be filing a lawsuit challenging this illegal action," Cook's lawyer Abbe Lowell says.
