A judge in Washington is set to hold a hearing today on the firing of Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook. As NPR's Franco Ordonez reports, the case sets up a showdown over presidential power.

President Trump announced earlier this week that he was firing Cook over allegations that she committed mortgage fraud related to two residential properties that she owns, which he described as potentially criminal. But Cook has not been charged criminally in her lawsuit. Cook is asking the court to declare Trump's removal order unlawful and void. If Trump replaces Cook, his appointees would make up a majority of the Fed board. The case is likely headed to the Supreme Court and the outcome will have major implications on the independence of the Federal Reserve, as well as the power of the presidency.

Nvidia is the most valuable company in the world. It got this way by selling the computer chips that are powering the artificial intelligence boom. Now, its status as a big tech bellwether has put Nvidia squarely at the center of questions about politics, the US Government's private business and the huge AI bubble. Nvidia reported earnings days after an MIT survey raised new concerns about the amount of money companies are making, or in most cases, not making from their investments in artificial intelligence. That made some investors question their optimism about big tech companies, which have been a bright spot amid growing worries about the broader U.S. economy. Maria Aspen, NPR News.
