You can’t make this up.
On Friday morning, embattled Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, recently fired by President Trump over allegations of fraud and misconduct, appeared in federal court to challenge her dismissal.
The case was heard by none other than Judge Jia Cobb, a radical Biden-appointed judge already notorious for shamelessly blocking Trump’s lawful mass deportation orders.
It can be recalled that US District Judge Jia Cobb called President Trump’s expedited removal of illegal aliens from the interior of the US a “skimpy process.”
“The procedures the government currently uses in expedited removal, however, create a significant risk that it will not identify these disqualifying criteria before quickly ordering someone removed. And the lack of available review means that once the removal happens, it is largely too late to correct the error,” Judge Cobb wrote in a 48-page opinion on Friday.
The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday morning that Judge Cobb wasted no time holding an emergency hearing that dragged on for over two hours. Attorneys for Lisa Cook and the DOJ clashed as they desperately tried to salvage her cushy position on the Federal Reserve Board.
Cook’s high-powered lawyer, Abbe Lowell, the same guy who’s been defending Hunter Biden in his scandals, went full attack mode on President Trump, whining that the Commander-in-Chief makes his orders and policies via “tweets.”
During the hearing, Judge Cobb openly cast doubt on Trump’s executive order firing Cook, but she stopped short of issuing a ruling. Court will resume next Tuesday.
Lisa Cook, fired by Trump this week for alleged mortgage and financial misconduct, is suing to keep her cushy Federal Reserve seat. The lawsuit should have been randomly assigned.
But in a shocking twist, the case landed before Judge Cobb, who just so happens to be Cook’s sorority sister in Delta Sigma Theta.

Judge Jia Cobb confirmed in her official Senate Judiciary Committee Questionnaire for Judicial Nominees that she is a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
-
In her Honors and Awards section, she listed:
“Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., National Collegiate Member of the Year (2002)” -
In her Memberships section, she further disclosed:
“Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (2002 – present) — Member (currently inactive)”
The sisterhood also openly celebrated Lisa Cook’s confirmation in 2022, calling it a “historic moment” and bragging about her role in shaping American monetary policy.
On May 22, Delta Sigma Theta congratulated Cook on social media and tied her legacy to the organization’s century-long political influence.
The sorority wrote on their Facebook account:
“Congratulations to Soror Lisa D. Cook on being confirmed to serve on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. This historic moment marks the first time in the Federal Reserve’s 109-year history that a Black woman was nominated and confirmed to serve on the powerful board of governors.
Dr. Cook is a macroeconomist and professor of economics and international relations at Michigan State University. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Indianapolis’s Federal Home Loan Bank, and Rende Progress Capital Community Development Financial Institution. Dr. Cook has previously worked for the Council of Economic Advisers, the Treasury Department, the World Bank, and several financial institutions. By assuming this role, Dr. Cook follows in the footsteps of Delta Sigma Theta’s 1st National President Sadie T.M. Alexander.
Soror Cook was initiated into Delta Sigma Theta at the Eta Kappa Chapter at Spelman College, where she was in the Honors Program and graduated magna cum laude with a BA in Philosophy. Additionally, she received her Ph.D. in economics from the University of California, Berkeley. Soror Cook is a Diamond Life Member and member of the Eastern Region.
Join us in congratulating Dr. Lisa Cook! We wish her all the best as she makes monetary policy to empower the American people.”
Even more telling, the sorority doubled down again this week, releasing a glowing statement defending Cook and blasting Trump for daring to remove her.
The group declared that undermining Cook was a “threat to the independence of the Federal Reserve” and accused critics of trying to “silence Black women.”
The group wrote on their Instagram account:
“Dr. Lisa D. Cook was vetted, confirmed, and is uniquely qualified to serve on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Undermining her role is not just about one individual — it is a threat to the independence of the Federal Reserve and carries grave economic implications for families and communities. We also see a troubling pattern of efforts to discredit leaders and experts who are eminently qualified and prepared to lead and to serve. As a women’s organization — and a champion of justice, scholarship, service, and economic development for 112 years — Delta Sigma Theta unequivocally opposes any measures that silence Black women, whose voices and leadership remain vital to the progress of our nation.”

A sitting U.S. President fires a Fed Governor for fraud, and the case magically lands before a judge who’s her literal sister in arms. If conflicts of interest this blatant are allowed to stand, the law itself becomes nothing more than theater—a farce designed to protect the elite while screwing over everyday Americans.
