Trump Accused of Mortgage Fraud He Alleges Against Fed Governor

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook is pushing back against the Trump administration's attempts to oust her from her position. The White House has accused Cook of committing mortgage fraud by claiming multiple primary residences on her taxes, an accusation deemed serious enough to warrant her removal.

Cook's counsel has responded with a letter pointing out that recent news stories have found President Donald Trump and several Cabinet members reportedly engaging in the same activity without facing consequences. The letter quotes Cook as saying, 'Surely the President does not believe himself unfit for office because he signed these contradictory primary mortgage documents.'
