Beatty Fires Back on Trump for his Decision and Stands with Cook’s Decision to Not Leave

WASHINGTON, D.C. –Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03), issued the following statement on President Trump’s illegal attempt to fire Federal Reserve Governor, Lisa Cook:

“Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook has served our country with honor and distinction. President Trump's illegal attempt to fire her is a dangerous assault on a fundamental pillar of our economy. Politicization of the Fed will cause instability in our financial markets, threaten Americans’ retirement savings and mortgages, and weaken our standing in the global economy.”
