Barratt and Jackson push Trump administration on how allegations against Cook could harm the public
During today’s arguments today, both conservative justice Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson of the liberal wing of the court pushed the solicitor general to explain how the administration’s allegations against Cook would harm the public if she were to remain in her position.

Jackson went on to press Sauer to provide “evidence that supports that allegation” of Cook’s mortgage fraud. “What is the evidence that has been presented and considered with respect to ms Cook’s alleged misconduct?”
