The Supreme Court issued an order on Oct. 1 indicating that it would hear oral argument over Federal Reserve board member Lisa Cook’s challenge to President Donald Trump’s attempt to fire her.

“The application for stay presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is deferred pending oral argument in January 2026,” an order from the court reads. “The Clerk is directed to establish a briefing schedule for amici curiae and any supplemental briefs responding to amici.”
