MSNBC guest destroys Trumps letter of dismissal | TV Shows

MSNBC guest Norm Eisen put on a dramatic show after a dialogue about Donald Trump’s firing of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook on Monday.

The president shared a letter of dismissal on his social media platform, Truth Social, accusing her of mortgage fraud. The attorney clarified that the Federal Reserve is an unbiased physique not subject to Trump’s authority despite his claims. A governor can only be eliminated “for cause,” which Eisen claims there may be none in this case.

He took a printed copy of the letter and ripped it in half as Michael Steele and his co-panelists seemed on.

Cook was appointed by Joe Biden and is the first Black lady to sit on the board. If eliminated from her place, Trump would have to appoint somebody to perform the remaining of her 14-year time period, which she has only served one yr of.

She has denied the allegations against her and has made it clear that she won’t be resigning voluntarily.

On August 15, Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte accused her of mortgage fraud in a post on X, previously Twitter. He alleged that she claimed two different properties as her main residence in 2021 to obtain better loan phrases. He made related accusations against two other political rivals of the president: New York Attorney General Letitia James and Senator Adam Schiff.

Ten days later, Trump announced that he was eradicating Cook from her place just one yr into her 14-year time period, though it is unclear whether or not he had legal grounds to do so.

She responded in a assertion, saying, “President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so.” Her attorney, Abbe Lowell, said, “President Trump has taken to social media to once again ‘fire by tweet’ and once again his reflex to bully is flawed and his demands lack any proper process, basis or legal authority … We will take whatever actions are needed to prevent his attempted illegal action.”

“Alexander Hamilton, Mr. President, you may recall him…very bright lines were drawn with respect to the banking relationship between the Reserve and the government,” the host clarified.

“But Donald Trump doesn’t care about the Constitution!” the founder and chair of Democracy Defenders Fund said. “He doesn’t care that Congress has said you can only fire somebody for cause! He doesn’t care that he has no cause here! This is based on a tweet by one of his most sharp partisans, Bill Pulte.”

He continued, “You have somebody in the White House who himself — convicted felon, 34 counts — no wonder the federal courts have shot him down 200 times for illegal actions. This is another one.” He then requested for the letter and held it in his fingers.

“Do you know what Lisa Cook should do?” he said as he ripped the paper down the center. “What Nancy Pelosi did. She should tear that letter. That letter is worthless!”
