A new report says the president might try to fire Cook, the first woman of color to sit on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

President Donald Trump’s campaign to oust Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, if successful, would give him the opportunity to exert more influence over the US central bank by securing a majority on its seven-member board of governors.

Cook responded to Pulte in a statement, "I have no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet."
