The statement must say that Lisa Cook has been fired or removed from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, or that he is firing her now (for example, "I'm firing her"). Statements about the August 2025 attempt to fire her do not count. A statement that he will, intends to, or may fire her, including if the Committee of Inquiry finds cause, or that a process to remove her is under way, does not count. ## Evidence you can inspect _These labels describe how a claim relates to the question.

No individual review. It rests on 30 claims from 18 publishers; anything not reported in those sources is not represented here. The report recorded 4 resolution risks, listed with this brief. - The description excludes statements about 'the August 2025 attempt to fire her' but does not define exactly what constitutes a new/separate firing statement versus a continuation of that attempt, which could cause disputes if Trump reaffirms the August 2025 action - No specific official source or medium for the Trump statement is defined (e.g., Truth Social, press conference, official White House communication), leaving room for disputes about what qualifies as a valid statement - The phrase 'fired or removed' introduces ambiguity — it is unclear if a formal legal removal process or court-ordered reinstatement scenario would still qualify as Trump 'stating' he fired her - Timezone of the end date (2026-12-01T04:59:00Z) may create edge cases for statements made close to the deadline depending on local time zones ## Publication history - Published 7 November 2026; research dated 6 November 2026. ## Since the previous brief This is the first published brief for this event.
