US President Donald Trump's allegations of fraud against Lisa Cook, a Federal Reserve governor, have become his "weapon of choice" in removing officials who have obstructed his policy agenda, his lawyer argued at the first hearing in a lawsuit over the firing decision. Lawyer Abbe Lowell told a judge in Washington on Friday that Mr. Trump's repeated public criticism of the Fed's work showed his intention to remove governors who had refused to vote for a rate cut. Mr. Cook argued that Mr. Trump's motives showed that his firing of Mr. Cook lacked justification.
