最新报道:According to Bijie.com, Hassett, director of the White House National Economic Council, said on Wednesday that Lisa Cook should take a leave of absence during the litigation over her future on the Federal Reserve Board. "If I were in her situation, I would take a leave of absence now," Hassett told reporters on Wednesday, adding that he thought it was "the decent thing to do." Hassett said he believed the president had the right to fire Cook: "The president has the absolute right to fire Federal Reserve governors for legitimate reasons, and I believe these allegations are serious." Trump sent a letter to Cook on Monday, saying he had "immediately removed her from office" on the grounds that her White House allies accused her of improperly claiming that two properties were primary residences in two mortgage applications. Trump had previously publicly considered nominating Hassett as the next Federal Reserve Chairman.
