NPR's Scott Horsley joins us now to discuss.

Hey, Scott.

Good morning.

So the Supreme Court heard arguments on Wednesday over Trump's attempt to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook.

How did it go?

Are interest rates the reason Trump wants to fire Cook?

The Fed has been cutting interest rates, but not as quickly as the president would like.

Where does the central bank go from here?

Our NPR's Scott Horsley.

Thank you, Scott.
