跟进：白宫推迟美联储理事Lisa Cook听证至12月

华盛顿——白宫已把原定11月5日举行、针对美联储（Federal Reserve）理事 Lisa Cook 房贷欺诈指控的听证推迟到12月。总统特朗普的首席经济顾问 Kevin Hassett 10月30日向媒体披露了这一变更，Cook 一方的律师周五则未确认双方已商定具体日期。

Hassett 周四在 Bloomberg TV 上说：「总统请了一小批他的人来主持一个完全公正的程序，把所有信息都摆到桌面上，然后由总统决定下一步。」他说，白宫方面、白宫法律顾问与 Cook 理事的人一直密切沟通，「我认为他们已经商定了一个12月的日期，大家坐下来把这些事情谈清楚。」

Cook 的律师与 Cook 本人一直否认有任何不当行为，并称特朗普的指控只是借口，目的是把她赶下台、让美联储降息。该律师此前曾表示，Cook 在12月8日至9日的美联储议息会议结束之前都没有时间参加听证；其发言人周五没有确认12月已有新日期商定。

这场听证源于今年6月最高法院的一项裁定：特朗普不能随意罢免 Cook，但如果先给她机会就被指构成「正当理由」的证据进行申辩，他或许可以罢免她。特朗普上个月宣布展开新的调查，并最初把听证日期定在11月5日。

Hassett 本人就是特朗普任命的三人调查委员会的成员之一，该委员会负责调查 Cook 并就是否应将她罢免向总统提出建议。他去年8月曾称 Cook 在特朗普提出指控后不肯离职是「党派行为」。他周四还说，委员会由「有荣誉感的人」组成，负责审视证据并作出准确的定性，公众可以观察、也可以批评。

Cook 本周在美联储的利率决定上投了异议票：她主张加息以抑制通胀，而非维持利率不变。美联储普遍预计将在12月再次加息。特朗普长期批评美联储不肯降息，并指责包括 Cook 在内的理事会成员带有政治立场、妨碍主席 Kevin Warsh 降息。

听证推迟后，特朗普是否凭「正当理由」罢免 Cook 的决定也将相应延后到12月，具体日期目前只有 Hassett 一方的说法，尚待 Cook 一方确认。

Follow-Up: White House Delays Hearing on Fed Governor Lisa Cook Until December

Washington — The White House has delayed until December a planned hearing into mortgage-fraud allegations against Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, President Donald Trump's top economic adviser said, though Cook's lawyers on Friday declined to confirm that any date had been agreed.

"The president has asked a small set of his people to run a completely fair process that puts all the information on the table, and then the president will decide next steps," Kevin Hassett told Bloomberg TV on Thursday. "We in the White House, the White House counsel, has worked very closely with Governor Cook's people. I think that they've agreed to a date in December to meet together and talk these things through."

Cook's lawyer, who along with Cook herself has denied any wrongdoing and called Trump's accusations a pretext to remove her because he wants the Fed to cut rates, had previously said Cook would not be available for any hearing until after the Fed's December 8-9 policy-setting meeting. A spokeswoman for her lawyer did not confirm any new date in December.

Trump has been trying to fire Cook for more than a year. The Supreme Court ruled in June that he cannot do so at will, but that he may be able to if he gives her a chance to defend herself against evidence he believes shows cause for removal. Trump announced a fresh investigation last month and initially set November 5 as the hearing date.

Hassett sits on the three-person committee Trump appointed to investigate Cook and recommend whether she should be fired. He had called Cook "partisan" last August for not vacating her post after Trump's allegations. On Thursday he said the committee is comprised of "people of honor who are charged with looking at the evidence and correctly characterizing it in a way that people will be able to observe and criticize if they like."

Cook this week dissented from the Fed's decision to leave rates steady instead of delivering another rate hike to curb inflation, as she would have preferred. The Fed is widely expected to raise rates again in December. Trump has long criticized the Fed for not cutting rates and accused what he calls a political Fed board, which includes Cook, of keeping Chairman Kevin Warsh from doing so.

With the hearing pushed back, any presidential decision on removing Cook for cause will also move into December. For now the December timing rests on Hassett's account alone, and Cook's side has not confirmed it.
