On September 19th, John Roberts, the Chief Justice of the United States, has asked Jerome Powell, the Governor of the Federal Reserve Board, to respond to Trump's demand for his "immediate dismissal" by September 25th. At the same time, action on Trump's related requests is being postponed. Since late August, when Trump announced the dismissal of Powell citing "alleged mortgage fraud" (a claim Powell has denied), Powell has continued to perform his duties as a Federal Reserve Board Governor. Currently, the Supreme Court of the United States is deliberating on a request from the Trump administration to overturn a previous court ruling that determined Trump's dismissal of Powell to be illegal and prohibited the Federal Reserve from implementing this dismissal decision.
