WASHINGTON, Sept 12 (Reuters) - A loan estimate for an Atlanta home purchased by Lisa Cook, the Federal Reserve governor accused of mortgage fraud by the Trump administration, shows that Cook had declared the property as a “vacation home,” according to a document reviewed by Reuters.

The document, dated May 28, 2021, was issued to Cook by her credit union in the weeks before she completed the purchase and shows that she had told the lender that the Atlanta property wouldn’t be her primary residence. The document appears to counter other documentation that Cook’s critics have cited in support of their claims that she committed mortgage fraud by reporting two different homes as her primary residence, two independent real-estate experts said.

Reuters was unable to reach Cook for comment. She has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing regarding her properties , which also include a home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and an investment property in Massachusetts.

Administration officials led by Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, have used mortgage documents from her Atlanta and Michigan properties to accuse Cook of claiming both as her “primary residence.” The allegedly false claims of residence, which could improve mortgage and tax implications for a homeowner, led Pulte to refer the matter to the Department of Justice, prompting a federal investigation and an order by President Donald Trump to dismiss her.

1. Didn't trump commit mortgage/loan fraud?

[jls4561]

4. Yes. And don't Bill Pulte's parents have multiple homes listed as a primary residence?

20. And more

2. If course they did

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. Too bad can't sue the government, but no average American will be able to sue

Any corporation or MAGA official as soon as the corrupt Supreme Court says it’s OK to get rid of tort liability

[Klarkashton]

5. That was projection on the part of a bunch of maga

Real estate goons. Where that shit is routine.

[Johonny]

6. She should sue Trump for defamation

Every person he lies about should sue his ass. Take every Shitcoin wealth he earned from him.

[live love laugh]

24. He didn't earn shit. He's a thief.

7. It's great Cook is putting put up a fight

Expose these lying MAGA mofos.

9. ...

[SunSeeker]

10. She should sue Pulte for defamation. nt

[Deuxcents]

11. "Black women do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously.."

Ms Cook didn’t steal anything..not even a more favorable interest rate. I deliberately put that comment up because besides Ms Cook, Ms James is being accused of the same crime 🤬

[ffr]

12. That would make the people that Trump hired, character assassins

Straight out of the mobster playbook. What a mess tRump voters have unleashed!

[multigraincracker]

13. Still have a convicted felon as President?

14. The DC Circuit sets an ultra-fast briefing schedule on the bid by Trump to fire Lisa Cook

There will be some briefs to read. The fact that Gov. Lisa Cook did not commit mortgage fraud will be discussed in these briefs

15. Of course they did. This fucking scum party lies about EVERYTHING.

[the nelm]

23. They thought they could shame her into resigning would be my guess.

This from the ass that has no shame whatsoever.

[Callie1979]

16. WHY didn't she just issue a statement telling us this on DAY ONE of trumps tirade?

it would've fizzled out immediately.

[Raven123]

18. Her point as I understand is that Trump couldn't fire her for this

As I understand her argument is that a “for cause” firing is related to on the job infractions.

Should she have to “show her papers” because of some incompetent Trump administrator acting on a tip from another MAGA?

I hope she humiliates Pulte and the entire administration.

[Callie1979]

26. But if she HAD done it she's no different than Trump. SO much wasted time.

Sorry, but if you're accused of fraud, "you cant fire me for that" is a shitty defense.

[Raven123]

29. The logic I am seeing reminds me of that used against Obama

They claimed he wasn’t born in the United States. They demanded he produce a Birth Certificate. Why? To cause distrust.

I doubt that she could satisfy the Trump administration. History says they will move the goalposts. Why? To cause distrust.

Trump is trying to take over the Fed. This is the first salvo.
I suspect Cook is fighting this larger battle. Imagine being in or associated with a government position and knowing MAGA is climbing through all of your personal date to harm you. I would fight every step with every tool available.

Pulte claimed he was investigating her based on information he was given. He is not investigating Ken Paxton or members of the Trump administration with the exact issue being cited to fire her. These problems have been publicly reported. I’ve seen him interviewed. Claimed he hadn’t received any tips on those folks. So what is a reliable tip?

[Callie1979]

30. As you said; "fight every step with every tool". THATS how you do it

Look at Macron; He's suing Candace for saying Brigitte is a man. THATS what needs to be done; hit back as SOON as possible. Dont let it sit there because to the cult, a non answer is admitting its true.

[Ilsa]

19. She's getting the truth recorded and revealing them

for the petty little shits they are. They may try to find something else, but I bet they can't.

[Callie1979]

27. If she'd responded immediately THAT wouldve been on the record too.

And this would've gone away. Its like being arrested for a crime that you have an alibi for but not mentioning the alibi until your arraignment.

NOW she may be out of a job because of this bullshit because we damn sure cant trust the SCOTUS to actually back her up with the LAW

[Solomon]

28. You are really really naive. Blame the victim, right? Ranks right up there with "all he had to do is comply". Being

a black woman has absolutely nothing to do with the harassment, right? And they stop harassing people when getting the all so easy simple explanation, right? I love how that seems to work for some folks but not others.

[Grins]

17. "Reuters was unable to reach (Lisa) Cook for comment."

Cook? Who cares about her comments?

PULTE was the putz they should have contacted! He was the primary cause of this shittery.

[MerryBlooms]

21. Like I always say, if a republican's mouth is moving, they're lying

It's not rocket science, it's republican science 🙄🙄🙄

[yellow dahlia]

22. I'm shocked...shocked, I say.

[B.See]

25. Right. And Haitian immigrants

were eating "the cats and the dogs" (a lie, incidentally, first uttered by Kirk).

Trump and his MAGAS LIE because they know any complete fabrication they utter will be taken as canon by their willfully deluded sycophants.

31. Lisa Cook's latest filing before the court of appeals disputes the fact that there was any mortgage fraud

Judge Cobb found that there was no cause to fire Lisa Cook. trump is appealing to the DC Circuit which has set a very short time frame for briefing.

Here is Lisa Cook's filing which is a fun read.

I was pleased to see that this filing contained a footnote on the recently disclosed facts that showed that Lisa Cook did NOT commit mortgage fraud

6The complete property records reveal the opposite. See, e.g., Fed Governor Lisa Cook claimed 2nd residence as ‘vacation home,’ undercutting Trump fraud claims, Assoc. Press (Sept. 12, 2025), https://apnews.com/article/federal-reserve-lisa-cook trump-852820c83e5001ec3b6e2d14047965c9 (affirming, based on the review of bank documents, that Governor Cook designated her Atlanta property for use as a “Vacation Home”).

I have not seen the trump fling which was supposed to be flied this afternoon. I suspect that trump will object to these facts cited above.
