Former Federal Reserve Governor Coogler faced an ethics investigation before resigning.

 according to a Federal Reserve official, former Federal Reserve Board member Kugler suddenly resigned because Federal Reserve Chairman Powell refused to approve her exemption from handling financial assets that violated the Federal Reserve's code of ethics. The official stated that Kugler was under investigation by the Federal Reserve's internal oversight agency due to recent issues with her financial disclosures before resigning in August. Documents made public on Saturday show that officials from the Federal Reserve's Office of Ethics refused to approve the latest financial disclosure materials submitted by Kugler and referred the matter to the Federal Reserve's Office of Inspector General. These disclosure materials, published on the U.S. government ethics office website, indicate that the details of her financial activities may have violated the Federal Reserve's internal ethical standards. Kugler announced her resignation on August 1, effective August 8, without specifying the exact reasons. (Jin10)

  • Trump to Receive Briefing on New Military Plans Against Iran Including Strong Strikes and Control of Hormuz Strait

    On April 30, two informed sources stated that Trump plans to receive a briefing on Thursday from General Brad Cooper, the commander of U.S. Central Command, regarding new plans for potential military action against Iran. This briefing indicates that Trump is seriously considering the resumption of large-scale military operations to break the negotiation deadlock or deliver a decisive blow before ending the war. Three sources revealed that Central Command has prepared a plan for a 'short and powerful' strike against Iran, which may include targeting infrastructure. The expectation is that Iran would then show greater flexibility on nuclear issues and return to the negotiating table. Another plan expected to be presented to Trump involves controlling parts of the Strait of Hormuz to restore commercial shipping passage. One source indicated that such actions could involve ground troops. Another option that has been discussed in the past and may be presented in the briefing is to conduct special operations to ensure control over Iran's highly enriched uranium reserves. Cooper had previously briefed Trump on similar matters on February 26, and two days later, the U.S. and Israel launched a war against Iran. A person close to Trump stated that that briefing led to Trump's decision to go to war.

The U.S. Supreme Court announced a ruling on February 20, stating that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the president to impose large-scale tariffs.

This means that tariffs previously imposed under this law must be refunded. (Dongxin News Agency)
