The U.S. Department of Justice stated in court documents that the court should respect President Trump's judgment in dismissing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. The Trump administration argued that Cook's request should be dismissed because her claim that Trump illegally fired her without just cause is unlikely to succeed. The government emphasized that the justification for dismissal falls under a broad standard, and Congress has granted the president discretion, with judicial review highly respecting the president's constitutional powers

The U.S. Department of Justice stated in court documents that the court should respect President Trump's judgment on whether there is sufficient "just cause" to dismiss Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. The document was submitted just hours before a key hearing in a lawsuit questioning Cook's removal. The Trump administration argued in the document that Cook's request for a temporary restraining order to prevent her dismissal should be dismissed because her claim that Trump illegally fired her without the necessary "just cause" is "highly unlikely to succeed on the merits." The Trump administration stated, "A dismissal based on 'just cause' is a broad standard, and Congress has granted the president discretion," even if the decision is subject to judicial review—though over a century of case law suggests otherwise—the review must highly respect the president's constitutional authority over senior officials to avoid interfering with presidential powers."
