美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周二回应美联储州长丽莎·库克的律师称，他们将对特朗普试图解雇她的行为提起诉讼。
“你的反应是什么?你准备好打官司了吗?”一名记者在内阁会议上问总统。
“哦，当然，总是这样，”特朗普回应道。
库克的律师阿贝·洛厄尔(Abbe Lowell)周二在一份声明中表示，川普“无权罢免美联储州长丽莎·库克(Lisa Cook)。他试图解雇她，仅仅基于一封推荐信，缺乏任何事实或法律依据。我们将提起诉讼，挑战这一非法行为。”
特朗普周一晚上宣布，由于未经证实的抵押贷款欺诈指控，他将库克从美联储董事会除名。特朗普周二表示:“我们需要100%光明正大的人，而她似乎不是。”
Trump says he's prepared for legal fight with Fed's Lisa Cook
President Donald Trump on Tuesday responded to Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook's attorney saying they will file a lawsuit over his attempt to fire her.
"What is your response? Are you prepared for a legal fight?" a reporter asked the president at his Cabinet meeting.
"Oh sure, always," Trump responded.
Cook's attorney, Abbe Lowell, said in a statement on Tuesday that Trump "has no authority to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. 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."
Trump announced on Monday night that he was removing Cook from the Fed board over unproven allegations of mortgage fraud. "We need people that are 100% above board and it doesn't seem like she was," Trump said on Tuesday.
