Federal judge upholds Trump-era firings, but blocks one high-profile case

Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

The US Supreme Court has ruled that Federal Reserve Chair Lisa Cook can remain in her position for now, but upheld other Trump firings. The court’s decision expands President Trump’s power to fire independent agency officials.

In a separate ruling, the Supreme Court also expanded Trump’s authority to remove officials from independent agencies. However, it did not intervene on behalf of Cook, who was targeted by Trump’s efforts to force her removal from the Federal Reserve board.

The court’s decisions were made in response to lawsuits filed by Cook and other individuals who were fired or removed from their positions under Trump’s administration. The rulings are seen as a significant shift in the balance of power between the executive branch and independent agencies.

The Supreme Court has issued its decision on the matter, but further details have not been released.
