Fed Governor Lisa Cook claimed 2nd residence as vacation home, undercutting Trump fraud claims
WASHINGTON (AP) Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook referred to a condominium she purchased in June 2021 as a vacation home in a loan estimate, a characterization that could undermine claims by the Trump administration that she committed mortgage fraud.
President Donald Trump has sought to fire Cook for cause, relying on allegations that Cook claimed both the condo and another property as her primary residence simultaneously, as he looks to reshape the central bank to orchestrate a steep cut to interest rates. Documents obtained by The Associated Press also showed that on a second form submitted by Cook to gain a security clearance, she described the property as a second home.
Cook sued the Trump administration to block her firing, the first time a president has sought to remove a member of the seven-person board of governors. Cook secured an injunction Tuesday that allows her to remain as a Fed governor.
The administration has appealed the ruling and asked for an emergency ruling by Monday, just before the Fed is set to meet and decide whether to reduce its key interest rate. Most economists expect they will cut the rate by a quarter point.

(7,591 posts)the gop really needs to get out of the lie mode it is stuck in.
They do not honor facts or the truth. At all.
It is evil to lie all the time.
EVIL. There really is no other word. That is the right word. That is the ugly truth.
Make no mistake.

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
I suspect that trump will object to these facts

(42,507 posts)so, in principle, Turnip (or his DOJ) has standing to sue the lawyer who brought these charges, but Cook, who was targeted by this lawyer, does not ??
Could US taxpayers, who are paying his salary, bring a class action against the lawyer for legal malpractice ? I wouldn't expect it to get to the finish line with the DOJ being captive to Turnip, but it's something to wonder about.
It certainly seems like disbarment should be only the beginning of his problems.
