Former Vice President Kamala Harris noted that she was unaware that she had ‘pulled the pin on a hand grenade’ with her response to a question while appearing on ‘The View’ ahead of the 2024 presidential election, according to an Associated Press report about the unsuccessful candidate’s forthcoming book about her whirlwind 2024 White House campaign.

Asked whether she would have done anything differently than President Joe Biden, Harris replied by saying nothing ‘comes to mind’ and adding that she had ‘been a part of … most of the decisions that have had impact.’

‘I had no idea I’d just pulled the pin on a hand grenade,’ Harris wrote in her book, ‘107 Days,’ which is slated for release on Tuesday, according to the AP — ‘my staff were besides themselves’ regarding how she had handed a ‘gift to the Trump campaign,’ she noted, according to the outlet.

Harris explained in the book that she did not want to criticize the president or litigate matters on which they did not agree, according to the AP, but she did not grasp the extent to which her connection with Biden was holding back her presidential bid.

President Donald Trump decisively defeated Harris in the 2024 election, winning both the Electoral College and the popular vote.

‘I could barely breathe,’ Harris wrote regarding her experience of learning that she had lost the White House contest to her Republican rival, the outlet reported. She kept asking, ‘My God, my God, what will happen to our country?’

Earlier this year, Harris announced that she had decided against mounting a 2026 California gubernatorial bid.

‘In recent months, I have given serious thought to asking the people of California for the privilege to serve as their Governor,’ she noted in a statement issued in late July. ‘But after deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for Governor in this election.’

The House passed a short-term federal funding bill backed by President Donald Trump on Friday morning, paving the way for averting a government shutdown if the Senate follows suit.

The legislation is aimed at keeping the government funded at current levels through Nov. 21 with a measure known as a continuing resolution (CR), designed to give House and Senate appropriators more time to strike a deal on fiscal 2026 federal spending.

Fiscal 2025 is slated to end on Sept. 30, and Congress risks a partial shutdown if the CR does not make it to Trump’s desk for a signature by then.

In addition to keeping the government open until just before Thanksgiving, the legislation also includes an added $30 million to boost lawmaker security through a mutual aid fund for Capitol law enforcement and local police.

That decision was made as concerns over political violence have skyrocketed in recent months, including after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah last week.

The CR also honors a White House request for an additional $58 million in combined security funding for the judicial and executive branches, as well as $1 billion allocated for Washington, D.C.’s budget after Congress repealed that sum earlier this year.

A shutdown could be politically costly for both Republicans and Democrats.

Democratic leaders had threatened for days to oppose the bill, infuriated over being left out of CR negotiations and demanding increased funding for healthcare subsidies.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., was criticizing the CR as recently as Friday morning, less than an hour before the vote.

‘Today, there’s a choice before every single member of the House of Representatives: will we stand up for the healthcare of the American people, or will we bend the knee to Donald Trump and his continued efforts to gut healthcare for everyday Americans?’ Jeffries said.

‘We’re voting no on a partisan Republican spending bill, and we’ll continue to defend the healthcare of the American people.’

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., had precious little wiggle room going into the vote, affording to lose only two Republicans if all Democrats turned against it.

But in the Senate, where at least several Democratic votes will be needed to meet the 60-vote threshold to advance the legislation, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is under significant pressure from his left flank to buck the GOP-led bill.

Schumer angered progressives in March when he cast a key vote to help avert a government shutdown with another Republican-led bill.

Republicans, meanwhile, have been readying to place the blame on a potential shutdown squarely on Democrats’ shoulders.

Trump posted on Truth Social on Thursday evening, ‘House Republicans are taking a very important Vote to pass a CLEAN TEMPORARY FUNDING BILL. The Leader of the Democrats, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, wants to shut the Government down.’

‘Republicans want the Government to stay open. Every House Republican should UNIFY, and VOTE YES!’ Trump wrote.

Democrats released their own alternative CR plan this week, but Johnson told Fox News’ ‘Special Report’ that it was ‘filled with partisan wish lists and poison pills and demands.’

The Senate is expected to consider both versions and could take a vote as early as Friday.

House Main Street Caucus Chairman Mike Flood, R-Neb., will refer Democratic colleague Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., for a House Ethics Committee investigation, he first told Fox News Digital.

It is the latest move in the GOP-led fallout over Omar’s response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist who was shot and killed in Utah during a college campus speaking event last week.

‘I will be filing tomorrow … a complaint with the Committee on Ethics in the House of Representatives with 18 very concerning incidents and/or behaviors and/or statements that, on their face, reflect poorly on the House of Representatives,’ Flood said of Omar.

The top of the list of complaints will include the progressive Democrat’s ‘obnoxious, insulting and dismissive comments following the assassination of Charlie Kirk,’ he said.

‘Second, harboring illegal immigrants. I believe in February of this year that Omar hosted a workshop advising Somalians on how to avoid being deported after protecting the laws of the United States,’ Flood continued of his points. ‘No. 3, she’s used TikTok for mixed official and campaign content, which specifically violates other House rules.’

Flood was one of four House Republicans to help Omar narrowly avoid being censured by the House on Wednesday evening.

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., moved to force a vote on censuring Omar over her reaction to Kirk’s killing, but the move was quashed when four Republicans and all Democrats voted to table the measure.

Flood said at the time of his vote, ‘Ilhan Omar’s statements and social media posts are reprehensible and should be referred to the Ethics Committee. The appropriate time to consider a censure motion would be after ethics reviews her conduct.’

He told Fox News Digital on Thursday that initiating an ethics investigation would make a censure ‘far more credible.’

Flood pointed out that he similarly voted to table a censure threat against Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., for her conduct outside a New Jersey ICE facility before the ethics committee could issue a report on the matter.

‘And so I have gathered enough information, starting yesterday, before I voted to table, understanding that this was an issue,’ Flood said.

He also disagreed with the other three House Republicans who all said Omar’s comments were protected by the First Amendment.

‘This isn’t a free speech issue. This is a ‘Have you demonstrated that you are behaving at all times in a manner that reflects credibly on the House?’’ Flood said.

Omar specifically faced backlash over an interview with progressive news outlet Zeteo, in which she criticized Kirk’s past commentary and Republicans’ reaction to the shooting. She later accused Republicans of taking her words out of context, and she called Kirk’s death ‘mortifying.’

She previously told Zeteo days after Kirk’s assassination that he had ‘downplayed slavery and what Black people have gone through in this country by saying Juneteenth shouldn’t exist.’

‘There are a lot of people who are out there talking about him just wanting to have a civil debate,’ the ‘Squad’ member said. ‘There is nothing more effed up, you know, like, than to completely pretend that, you know, his words and actions have not been recorded and in existence for the last decade or so.’

She later posted on X amid the backlash, ‘While I disagreed with Charlie Kirk vehemently about his rhetoric, my heart breaks for his wife and children. I don’t wish violence on anyone. My faith teaches me the power of peace, empathy, and compassion. Right-wing accounts trying to spin a false story when I condemned his murder multiple times is fitting for their agenda to villainize the left to hide from the fact that Donald Trump gins up hate on a daily basis.’

Omar also reposted a video on X, where others not associated with the congresswoman said, ‘Don’t be fooled, these people don’t give a single s— about Charlie Kirk. They’re just using his death to further their Christo-fascist agenda.’

The Minnesota Democrat’s colleagues have vehemently defended her against Mace’s censure and Republican criticism.

Fox News Digital reached out to Omar’s office for a response to Flood but did not immediately hear back.

The House of Representatives adopted a resolution to honor the ‘life and legacy’ of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Friday, just over a week after he was shot and killed during a college campus speaking event in Utah.

The measure got bipartisan support in a 310-58 vote, with both Democrats and Republicans having quickly risen to condemn political violence in the wake of Kirk’s assassination.

The vote divided Democrats, however, with 95 lawmakers voting to adopt the resolution, 58 voting against it and 22 not voting at all.

Thirty-eight Democrats also voted ‘present’ on the resolution. The top three House Democrats – Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., and Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar, D-Calif. – all voted in favor of the measure.

House Democratic leadership did not expressly tell their caucus how to vote on the resolution but communicated that they would support it, according to two sources familiar with discussions.

The measure to honor Kirk, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., lauded the Turning Point USA founder as ‘one of the most prominent voices in America, engaging in respectful, civil discourse across college campuses, media platforms and national forums, always seeking to elevate truth, foster understanding and strengthen the Republic.’

It also said Kirk’s ‘commitment to civil discussion and debate stood as a model for young Americans across the political spectrum, and he worked tirelessly to promote unity without compromising on conviction.’ 

It called his killing ‘a sobering reminder of the growing threat posed by political extremism and hatred in our society’ and ‘calls upon all Americans—regardless of race, party affiliation, or creed—to reject political violence, recommit to respectful debate, uphold American values, and respect one another as fellow Americans.’

The resolution also invoked Kirk’s Christian faith, affirming that the House ‘honors the life, leadership, and legacy of Charlie Kirk, whose steadfast dedication to the Constitution, civil discourse, and biblical truth inspired a generation to cherish and defend the blessings of liberty.’

Despite lawmakers on both sides quickly coming out to condemn Kirk’s killing and political violence as a whole, subsequent days have seen partisan divisions skyrocket over the case.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., was among the Democrats targeted by the right for her response to Kirk’s death, both in an interview on progressive outlet Zeteo News and in reposting a social media video that criticized Kirk’s allies’ responses to his killing.

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., led a failed bid to censure Omar over her reaction, which was tabled when four Republicans, three of whom cited First Amendment protections, voted to block the measure.

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Friday (September 19) as of 9:00 a.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ethereum price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$116,312, a one percent decrease in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$116,111, and its highest was US$117,888.

Bitcoin price performance, September 19, 2025.

Chart via TradingView

Ether (ETH) is similarly range-bound, struggling around $4,550 with minor resistance just overhead. ETH futures funding rate has stayed slightly positive, reflecting modest bullishness, but open interest is not spiking like BTC’s.

Weekly Recap and Market Moves

Last week’s markets were buoyed by major macro developments. The US Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25bps to 4.25 percent, its first cut of 2025, igniting a risk-on rally in crypto.

Bitcoin briefly broke above the US$117,000 level, and the total crypto market cap climbed back to roughly US$4.19 trillion, up 1.6 percent in 24 hrs. Trading volumes also swelled by around US$210 billion.

On the charts, Bitcoin formed a rising wedge over the past month, with a bearish divergence noted by on-chain analysts. Technically, Bitcoin appears to be in a mild consolidation after last week’s surge. CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler observes that BTC is trading just above its short-term holder realized price.

In equities, the S&P and Nasdaq hit record highs as crypto pulled back modestly on Friday, reflecting a temporary decoupling.

ETF data & derivatives trends

Institutions were very active. Spot Bitcoin ETFs drew record inflows, with around 20,685 BTC were added in the past week, pushing US ETF holdings to hover around 1.32 million BTC worth US$150 billion.

BlackRock’s IBIT led with US$1 billion in net buys, with Fidelity’s FBTC (US$843 M) and Ark’s ARKB (US$182 M) also drawing large flows. Ethereum, however, garnered lower ETF flows: US ETH-ETFs saw a US$62 million outflow over the week. Overall this ETF demand outpaced new Bitcoin supply by nearly 9 times, underpinning BTC’s recent strength.

Altcoin ETFs are also taking shape: in mid-September the SEC approved the first US ETFs for XRP and Dogecoin. DOGE jumped by 20 percent upon its ETF debut. This altcoin ETF wave, now backed by giants like Grayscale and Franklin Templeton, is reshaping flows and legitimizing more speculative assets.

On the derivatives side, leverage is at a near-record. Bitcoin futures open interest surpassed US$220 billion in September. CryptoQuant notes clusters of orders just above and below spot price, so any sharp swing, even a small break, could trigger “record liquidations.” Funding rates remain mixed but have been mildly positive for Bitcoin, which indicate slight long bias. Taken together, the derivatives data suggest ample fuel for volatility ahead of the Fed next week.

Altcoin price update

  • Solana (SOL) was priced at US$242.45, a decrease of 2,2 percent over the last 24 hours. Its highest valuation of the day was US$252.78, while its lowest valuation was US$240.36.
  • XRP was trading for US$3.03, down by 3.1 percent in the past 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$3.02, and its highest value was US$3.13.
  • SUI (Sui) was valued at US$3.72, trading at its lowest valuation of the day and down by 5.1 percent over the past 24 hours. Its highest price point today was US$3.97.
  • Cardano (ADA) was priced at US$0.9051, down by 1.6 percent over 24 hours. Its highest value of the day was US$0.938, while its lowest valuation was US$0.895.

Today’s crypto news to know

Stablecoin startups post record fundraising, supply heads toward US$1 trillion

Funding for stablecoin-related companies has surged to unprecedented levels this year, with 14 firms raising a combined $537 million so far, according to DefiLlama data.

That figure marks a sharp jump from the $84 million raised across all of 2024, underscoring a wave of investor confidence in fiat-pegged digital assets.

The year’s biggest deal came in July when Hong Kong’s OSL Group secured $300 million to expand its infrastructure and global reach.

Analysts link the momentum to favorable regulatory shifts, including the Genius Act signed into law by U.S. President Donald Trump in July, which provided legal clarity for stablecoin issuers.

The sector’s rapid rise is also visible in secondary markets. Circle’s IPO in June, for instance, is now trading at four times its debut value.

Coinbase projects that overall stablecoin supply, already at a record $290 billion, could top $1 trillion by 2028.

Watchdog flags Trump-linked crypto firm for token sales to sanctioned actors

A watchdog group has accused World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture tied to US President Donald Trump, of allowing its tokens to flow into the hands of users connected with sanctioned entities.

According to Accountable.us, WLFI tokens ended up with wallets linked to North Korea’s Lazarus Group, Iran’s Nobitex exchange, and Russian traders, despite long-standing US restrictions.

The report highlights one case on Jan. 20, 2025, when WLFI sold 600,000 tokens, worth roughly US$10,000, on Trump’s inauguration day to a wallet later tied to Lazarus transactions.

Even after DeFi platforms flagged the account, the wallet continued operating until late August, receiving WLFI’s branded USD1 stablecoin as part of an airdrop. Separate sales were traced back to Iran’s Nobitex in October 2024, a platform that Chainalysis has previously identified as a hub for sanctions evasion.

The allegations raise questions over WLFI’s compliance and could intensify regulatory pressure on the company.

Trump’s team has not publicly responded to the claims.

PayPal’s dollar stablecoin expands to nine blockchains

PayPal’s US dollar stablecoin, PYUSD, is expanding to nine new blockchains through a partnership with interoperability protocol LayerZero.

The move broadens the token’s reach beyond its native issuance on Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, and Stellar, making it accessible across networks like Avalanche, Aptos, Tron, and others.

As part of the rollout, LayerZero created a wrapped version called PYUSD0, which is fully interchangeable with the original token and operates within its Hydra Stargate system.

The expansion is designed to accelerate adoption and cement PYUSD’s role as a dollar-backed instrument across the crypto ecosystem.

Since launching in 2023 through issuer Paxos, PYUSD has grown steadily, with supply climbing from US$520 million at the start of the year to US$1.3 billion.

Dogecoin and XRP, two of the most widely followed cryptocurrencies, have crossed into the US exchange-traded fund market.

REX-Osprey, a joint venture between REX Shares and Osprey Funds, launched the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF (CBOE:DOJE) and the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (CBOE:XRPR) this week, marking the first US-listed ETFs to provide spot exposure to the tokens.

Greg King, CEO and founder of REX Financial and Osprey Funds, framed the move as an extension of the firm’s first-to-market strategy. “Investors look to ETFs as trading and access vehicles,” said Greg King, CEO and founder of REX Financial and Osprey Funds.

“The digital asset revolution is already underway, and to be able to offer exposure to some of the most popular digital assets is something REX-Osprey is proud of and has worked diligently to achieve,” King added.

DOJE is the first ETF to hold spot Dogecoin, a token that began as an online parody in 2013 and rose to prominence through social media enthusiasm, celebrity endorsements, and its instantly recognizable Shiba Inu mascot. The ETF gives traditional brokerage account holders the ability to trade DOGE without direct crypto exchange access.

For XRP, XRPR provides investors with exposure to the cryptocurrency best known for enabling fast, low-cost cross-border payments. The fund intends to hold most of its assets directly in XRP, with the remainder in exchange-traded products backed by the token.

The fund quickly gathered momentum, surpassing US$275 million in assets under management before converting into a Regulated Investment Company structure in September to improve tax efficiency.

With DOJE and XRPR, REX-Osprey is broadening its reach and reinforcing its brand as a crypto ETF innovator. Both funds are structured under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which imposes stringent oversight on fund operations and investor protections.

The launches were met with an immediate surge in token activity.

Dogecoin jumped 5.77 percent to US$0.28 on Thursday (September 18), with daily trading volume climbing more than 44 percent to US$5.66 billion. XRP rose 3.05 percent to US$3.12, with its 24-hour volume up 75 percent to nearly US$7.8 billion.

Recent regulatory clarity has led to competition heating up in the US crypto ETF market. After years of regulatory hurdles, spot bitcoin ETFs opened the floodgates in early 2025, drawing billions in inflows.

The Company is positioned extremely well with the ability to explore its seven historical high-grade drill-ready silver mines in Idaho and Nevada within our three 100% owned silver projects, with no royalties, or cumbersome earn-in exploration agreements, or future payments required. It was a tough past twelve months, but the market is back and so is Silver Hammer!’

Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a ‘Share‘) and one transferable common share purchase warrant (a ‘Warrant‘). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Share at an exercise price of CDN$0.07 for a period of five years from the date of issuance.

The Second Tranche was completed in reliance on prospectus exemptions under National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (‘NI 45-106‘), and, for greater certainty, did not include any portion completed under the listed issuer financing exemption set out in Part 5A of NI 45-106. All securities issued in connection with the Second Tranche are subject to a statutory hold period of four months, expiring on January 19, 2026, in accordance with applicable securities laws.

In connection with the Second Tranche, the Company paid finder’s fees consisting of CDN$44,679.40 in cash and issued 1,012,353 finder’s warrants (the ‘Finder’s Warrants‘) to eligible finders. Each Finder’s Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Share at an exercise price of CDN$0.07 for a period of 60 months from the date of issuance.

Certain directors and officers of the Company have purchased an aggregate of 2,952,310 Units under the Second Tranche. Their participation constituted a ‘related party transaction’ within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (‘MI 61-101‘). The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to insiders nor the consideration paid exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for exploration of its Silver Strand project in Idaho and its Eliza and Silverton projects in Nevada (see below), as well as for general working capital and corporate purposes.

Projects Overview:

Silverton Project, Nevada

Silver Hammer has identified several targets at its 100% owned Silverton Project in Nevada and currently has 13 drill targets identified. The Company’s technical team is currently ranking and prioritizing targets at Silverton with a view towards completing a Phase I drill program in the fall of 2025. Previous exploration work, including rock and soil sampling, geologic mapping and satellite imagery, provided evidence of two separate mineralized systems: silver rich and gold rich. The volcanic-hosted gold system highlighted grades ranging from 0.06 grams per tonne (‘g/t’) to 6.1 g/t gold (‘Au’). The silver dominated mineral system is hosted by silicified limestone with grades ranging from 0.32 g/t silver (‘Ag’) to 692 g/t Ag.

Silver Strand Project, Idaho

The Company plans to follow up on previous exploration results at its 100% owned Silver Strand Project in Idaho by executing an eight (8) hole exploration drill program via its Plan of Operations Permit, which was previously approved. The majority of surface samples collected across the property have returned gold and silver mineralization, and historical and recent drilling completed by Silver Hammer in 2021 and 2022, and by previous operators in 2002, highlight high-grade silver and gold mineralization below the lowest level (90 metres) of the mine. In addition, the Company has recently been approached by a local operator to review the project and to potentially mine the Silver Strand Mine for feed for their milling operation through a small miner exemption previously granted.

Highlighted historical drill results and drill results completed by Silver Hammer (2021/2022) (refer to the Company’s website for detailed disclosure):

Eliza Project, Nevada

The Company plans to follow up on the significant previous exploration results at its 100% owned Eliza Project in Nevada. Results from rock chip and grab samples (from 2021 and 2022) confirmed the existence of a well-developed silver-rich mineral system, which also showed elevated enrichments in copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn):

Sample ID No. Ag (g/t) Cu (%) Zn (%) Pb (%)
EZR007 1540 6.88 7.38 Not Sig.
EZR008 1410 5.40 2.60 9.05
PN662703 1290 Not Sig. Not Sig. Not Sig.
PN662717 1180 7.70 13.4 11.00
PN614025 450 4.89 15.00 9.04

The Company is currently fast tracking a property-wide Plan of Operations to submit to the USFS to ensure the project can be fully explored and advanced to a drill ready state on USFS ground, while also prioritizing exploration efforts for a 2026 drill program on patented ground within the Eliza Project area that encompasses the high-grade past-producing California Mine. The Company has completed a property-wide geophysical study, and ground truthing, including geologic mapping and structural analysis, to assist in finalizing the drill targets focused on the silver-rich mineral system mentioned above.

The Trump administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to set aside lower court decisions barring President Donald Trump from dismissing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.

The new request, which was expected, came on the heels of Cook’s participation in the crucial, two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) rate-setting meeting. For months, Trump has pressed the Federal Reserve to cut rates in order to help spur the nation’s economic growth. 

 

On Monday, the U.S. Court of Appeals blocked Trump from immediately firing Lisa Cook from her role on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, clearing the way for her to participate in the FOMC meeting.

The outcome of the FOMC meeting impacts every American, with knock-down effects felt in borrowing costs from everything from mortgages to credit cards. 

‘The president lawfully removed Lisa Cook for cause,’ White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement on Sept. 15. ‘The administration will appeal this decision and looks forward to ultimate victory on the issue.’ 

The D.C. Appeals Court ruling also came as the Senate narrowly voted 48-47 Monday night to approve Trump’s Fed board nominee, Stephen Miran. He participated in the FOMC meeting alongside Cook.

Trump last month tapped Miran — who currently leads the White House Council of Economic Advisers — to fill the seat vacated by Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler, following her resignation in August. He will finish the remainder of Kugler’s term, which ends on Jan. 31, 2026.

Last week, U.S. District Court Judge Jia Cobb temporarily blocked Cook’s firing, allowing her to continue in her current role for now. She said Trump likely violated Cook’s due process rights and that the Federal Reserve statute does not account for conduct that occurred before a governor took office, like the mortgage fraud alleged against Cook.

The allegations originated with Bill Pulte, a Trump appointee to the federal agency that regulates Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. 

Pulte tied Cook to a trio of properties in Michigan, Georgia, and Massachusetts, which prompted scrutiny over whether Cook had misrepresented how the homes would be used. The three mortgage loans were issued in 2021, before she was nominated by former President Joe Biden to join the Fed board. 

Pulte made two separate referrals to the Justice Department over Cook’s mortgage applications.

Trump seized on those allegations and ousted Cook on Aug. 25, which prompted her to sue him in federal court three days later. Her lawsuit named as defendants Trump, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

The suit, which was filed on Aug. 28, centered on whether Trump satisfied the ‘for cause’ provisions under federal law required to remove a sitting Fed governor, is the first of its kind. Cook’s lawsuit does not address the allegations that she listed multiple houses as a primary residence on mortgage filings. 

The Justice Department opened a criminal investigation on Sept. 4 into Cook over allegations of mortgage application fraud. Her lawyer, Abbe Lowell, wrote in a filing on Sept. 2 that she ‘did not ever commit mortgage fraud.’

Cook’s lawyers have also stressed both in court filings and in arguments before Judge Cobb last month the novelty of Trump’s attempt to oust her — a move they argued lacked sufficient cause, and could be used as a dangerous pretext to oust other members of independent federal boards.
