Oregon's Lori Chavez-DeRemer, other Trump cabinet members claimed 2 primary residences

"This story was originally published by ProPublica.

The Trump administration has vowed to go after anyone who got lower mortgage rates by claiming more than one primary residence on their loan papers.

President Donald Trump has used it as a justification to target political foes, including a governor on the Federal Reserve Board, a Democratic U.S. senator and a state attorney general.

Real estate experts say claiming primary residences on different mortgages at the same time is often legal and rarely prosecuted.

But if administration officials continue the campaign, mortgage records show there’s another place they could look: Trump’s own Cabinet."

This morning on Bloomberg, Matt Miller pointed out they were supposed to have an interview with Secretary of Labor Chavez-DeRemer, and at the last minute she cancelled out of the interview. Miller pointed out that the last minute cancelling of the interview was curious, since only a few hours prior ProPublica reported all those currently in the trump cabinet are doing what trump has accused allegedly of what they say Lisa Cook is doing, and trying to fire her without due process.
