Trump Administration's Hypocrisy Exposed
The Trump administration has been targeting Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors, over claims of mortgage fraud. However, it has been revealed that the attack dog behind this effort, Bill Pulte, has not even filed his own disclosure form with the SEC as required by his position as chairman of the board of Fannie Mae.
Despite Cook not being charged with any crime, the administration has continued to push for her termination, with lawyers claiming she committed "financial misfeasance." However, additional loan documents suggest that the alleged fraud was likely a clerical error.
The administration has framed it as "potentially criminal" and termination-worthy, despite the lack of evidence.
