Justice Sotomayor comes out swinging in 'irregular' Trump case: 'I'm hard pressed'

Justice Sonia Sotomayor had sharp questions as the Supreme Court hears arguments Wednesday in the case involving Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, who was fired from the Federal Reserve board on social media by President Donald Trump over accusations of mortgage fraud.

The significant case Trump v. Cook has raised questions over the federal independence of the central bank and whether she should be able to continue to stay in office while the high court decides if she can be fired by the president, according to the Associated Press.
