White House panel postpones Fed Governor Lisa Cook hearing to Dec 14

The delay is notable less for the date change than for what it signals: a removal proceeding against a sitting Fed governor is being run on the governor's own scheduling request, suggesting the process has some procedural give even under political pressure. This matters most for Fed independence and for anyone pricing policy risk into rate-sensitive markets — the mere existence of the panel is a live variable. Whether the hearing proceeds on the new date, and how the committee frames its case, is the open question worth tracking.
