6月18日（路透社）——因被指涉及抵押贷款欺诈而遭美国总统唐纳德·特朗普解雇的美联储理事丽莎·库克，周四披露了其法律案件相关的巨额支出以及为其支付的安保费用。库克称相关指控不实。
美国政府道德办公室周四公开的一份文件显示，随着案件上诉至最高法院，库克已支出近120万美元的法律服务费。

文件显示，代表库克支付的法律服务费中，“州民主捍卫者基金”支付了696346美元，“康蒂纳影响力基金”支付了477951美元。文件还提到，康蒂纳影响力基金还为“安保服务”支付了143908美元，库克的三位私人朋友也为这位美联储理事的安保工作提供了资助。
根据非营利数据机构Candid的GuideStar平台信息，州民主捍卫者基金的资金来自众多捐赠方，包括约翰·D·麦克阿瑟与凯瑟琳·T·麦克阿瑟基金会以及开放社会行动基金。该基金的董事包括布鲁金斯学会高级研究员诺曼·艾森。
目前，美国国会共和党人正在调查州民主捍卫者基金，质疑其是否按照公开宣称的宗旨使用资金。
最高法院预计将于本月底对库克的案件作出裁决。这一案件被视为关乎美国央行能否免受政治压力影响、独立制定货币政策的关键案件。
特朗普于去年8月以涉及抵押贷款借款的不当行为这一未经证实的指控为由，试图将库克从美联储解雇。库克对解雇决定提出异议，目前法院已暂停该解雇决定的执行。

June 18 (Reuters) – Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, who is fighting an effort by U.S. President Donald Trump to fire her over mortgage fraud allegations she says are untrue, disclosed on Thursday extensive payments associated with her legal case as well as payments made on her behalf for security work.
Cook reported almost $1.2 million in legal services payments as her case has made its way up to the Supreme Court, in a filing made public on Thursday by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.

The filing listed legal services payments on Cook’s behalf totaling $696,346 from the State Democracy Defenders Fund and $477,951 from Contina Impact. The filing also noted that Contina Impact paid $143,908 for “security services,” and that three personal friends of Cook also made contributions on the Fed governor’s behalf for security work.
According to Candid’s Guidestar, State Democracy Defenders Fund derives its funding from a number of donors, including the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the Open Society Action Fund. The State Democracy Defenders Fund counts as a director Norm Eisen, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
The State Democracy Defenders Fund is currently being targeted by Republicans in Congress over whether it is using funds in a manner consistent with its publicly stated purpose.
The Supreme Court is expected by the end of this month to rule in Cook’s case, which is seen as pivotal to the U.S. central bank’s retaining the ability to make monetary policy free of political pressures.
Trump attempted to fire Cook from the central bank in August over unsubstantiated claims of impropriety involving mortgage borrowing. Cook contested her firing, which has thus far been blocked by courts.
