Report: Powell to Attend Supreme Court Hearing on Cook Removal

Anti-Trump narrative

Powell has every right to attend as a co-defendant in a case directly affecting the Fed's institutional integrity. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent himself — who has been vocal in his opposition — sat front row at SCOTUS tariff arguments despite not being a defendant, making his criticism rank hypocrisy. Past Fed chairs have attended court proceedings, establishing clear precedent for Powell's presence.
