Chief Justice of the United States Asks Fed Governor Powell to Respond to Trump

BlockBeats News, September 19th, Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts has requested Federal Reserve Board Governor Jerome Powell to respond to Trump's demand for his "immediate dismissal" by September 25th, while holding off on taking action on Trump's related requests. Since late August, when Trump announced the dismissal of Powell citing "alleged mortgage fraud" (an accusation Powell has denied), Powell has continued to fulfill his duties as a Federal Reserve Board Governor. Currently, the Supreme Court of the United States is considering a request from the Trump administration to overturn a prior court ruling that deemed Trump's dismissal of Powell illegal and barred the Federal Reserve from carrying out this dismissal decision.
