President Donald Trump said late on Monday that he has fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, citing allegations of mortgage fraud that haven’t been taken to court. There’s still a lot we don’t know about the situation.
The firing, in a letter that was also posted to social media, came a week after Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte alleged in a letter that she claimed two properties — a home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and a condo in Atlanta — as her primary home addresses within two weeks of purchasing each with financing. Pulte accused her of having “falsified bank documents and property records.”
The Justice Department said it plans to investigate the allegations but hasn’t formally announced any charges as of Monday evening.
