President Donald Trump and his allies are renewing a push to reshape the Federal Reserve after the Supreme Court this week blocked an effort to fire Governor Lisa Cook.

Top officials and outside allies are actively exploring ways to remove members of the Fed’s Board of Governors in Washington to clear the way for more of the president's own picks, according to people familiar with the matter. Cook remains a target after the high court allowed her to stay in her job for now, as does former Chair Jerome Powell, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Ultra-Secure Swiss Vault Storage from Tara Gold and Silver Ltd.

Tara Gold is delighted to announce the launch of our ultra-secure gold and silver secure storage service.

GATA followers can now own gold and silver coins and bars -- including the Gold and Silver Trees of Life — with fully segregated, allocated holdings in one of the safest vault providers in Switzerland and the world.

All coins and bars are held in your name. Not a paper claim. Not someone else's liability. Real, physical precious metals you can visit, inspect, take delivery of, or sell at any time.

Safety, Trust & Privacy: Our Swiss storage partner is Helveticor AG in Zurich. Tara Gold's Mark O'Byrne, after extensive international due diligence, served as Helveticor's global ambassador for two years and stores metal with them personally. He has known the owners and senior staff for 20 years and trusts their vaults implicitly. Your metals there are fully insured and held outside the banking system — no counterparty risk, no digital risk, and no fractional reserving, with complete discreetness and privacy.

Liquidity: Switzerland is a primary hub for precious metals. You can sell quickly and competitively, with proceeds transferred directly to your bank account.

Tax Efficiency: Gold and silver in Swiss-bonded vaults are exempt from sales taxes. You pay only if you remove bullion from Switzerland.

For holdings of $100,000 or more, the combination of security, privacy, liquidity, and tax efficiency makes this a compelling international diversification.

Although the Supreme Court's ruling reinforced the Fed’s independence from the executive branch, some Fed watchers noted the narrowness of the decision and cautioned it doesn't completely shield the central bank from future political attacks. Undeterred, Trump allies see the decision as providing a procedural roadmap for how to successfully push Cook out, and are redoubling their efforts to do so, according to people familiar with the matter.

Trump told CNBC on Thursday that the court's ruling was based on procedure, not merit, and his administration would begin a process to remove her from the central bank.

"We'll start the process and we'll do perfect process and perfect procedure," he said. ...
