Judge Rules on Fed's Lisa Cook; Fallout from Israel Attack in Qatar

On today's podcast: 1) A judge temporarily blocked President Trump from removing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, allowing her to remain on the job as she challenges the president’s efforts to oust her over allegations she committed mortgage fraud.2) President Trump criticizes Israel after its bombing of Hamas leaders in the Gulf. Israel's strike on Qatar's capital delivered a major blow to US-supported efforts to normalize ties with Gulf Arab nations and possibly crippled talks for a ceasefire in Gaza. The strike may have ended Qatar's role as a mediator in ceasefire negotiations, with other countries such as Turkey potentially being put on high alert, according to former US and CIA officials.3) Poland shot down drones that crossed into its territory during a Russian air strike on Ukraine, calling it an "act of aggression." The country's airspace was "violated by a huge number of Russian drones", forcing Poland to close its airspace and order citizens in the eastern part of the country to stay indoors. The incident was described as "the most serious European airspace violation by Russia since the war began", with indications suggesting it was intentional, not accidental.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
