A second criminal referral was filed against Lisa Cook on Thursday, alleging the embattled Federal Reserve Board governor may have made “misrepresentations” on mortgage documents and government disclosures.
The complaint to the Justice Department was lodged by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, who was the source of the initial criminal referral that President Trump is using to attempt to fire Cook “for cause.”
“3 strikes and you’re out. Today, US Federal Housing sent a 2nd Criminal Referral in the matter of Lisa D. Cook, related to a mortgage on a 3rd property and alleged misrepresentations about her properties to the United States Government during her time as Governor of the Federal Reserve,” Pulte wrote on X , including a copy of the letter sent to Attorney Gen
