Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook has postponed her appearance at a White House hearing scheduled for November 5. The hearing is part of a new investigation into mortgage fraud allegations made by President Donald Trump.
Cook's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, informed the White House in a letter on Tuesday that she would be unavailable due to her official duties as governor. According to the letter, Cook will be attending financial and monetary policy meetings in Europe on that date.
The postponement comes amid ongoing scrutiny and political tensions surrounding the Federal Reserve and its governance.
