DOJ Opens Grand Jury Criminal Investigation Fed Governor Lisa Cook Over Mortgage Fraud Allegations
The Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook - and has issued multiple subpoenas as part of the inquiry into whether she committed mortgage fraud, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing 'officials familiar with the matter.'

The probe - for which a grand jury has been assembled, will begin by looking at Cook's properties in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Atlanta. It comes on the heels of two criminal investigations from Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte, who has been dropping receipts for weeks with evidence that Cook committed fraud - including claiming two properties as her "primary residence" - as well as claiming that a rented out third property was her 'second home' - all things that would qualify her for better rates and tax treatment.

Trump DOJ Files Blistering Response To Lisa Cook Lawsuit (ZeroHedge)

Trump DOJ Files Blistering Response To Lisa Cook Lawsuit
The Justice Department has filed a response to Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook's lawsuit over her Monday firing - claiming that the President has "broad discretion to remove a Governor for "cause" over allegations of mortgage fraud (with a third property disclosed by Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte last night), and that Cook is "highly unlikely to prevail on the merits."
The Federal Reserve Act (FRA) empowers the President of the United States to appoint (by and with the advice and consent of the Senate) the members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 12 U.S.C. § 241. Those Governors serve for fixed terms, “unless sooner removed for cause by the President.” Id. § 242. The statute thus expressly contemplates that, even setting aside his Article II authority over principal officers, the President retains broad discretion to remove a Governor for “cause...

"We Haven′t Heard Her Say She Didn′t Do It": Bessent Burns Cook Over Mortgage Fraud Fiasco (ZeroHedge)

"We Haven't Heard Her Say She Didn't Do It": Bessent Burns Cook Over Mortgage Fraud Fiasco
On Monday, President Trump fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook - after Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte asked the DOJ to investigate her for suspected mortgage fraud. Pulte has been dropping receipts for over a week showing that Cook claimed two properties as her 'primary' residence - allowing her to benefit by double-dipping on tax and mortgage advantages.
Cook, an 'autopen-appointed' (we assume) DEI hire who was overwhelmingly unqualified for the job, and 'wholeheartedly' supported the Fed's decision to help former President Biden by dropping interest rates in the home stretch of the 2024 election (with inflation soaring), has yet to actually deny the allegations - which Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent pointed out today during an appearance on Fox Business.
"She keeps saying Trump doesn't have the authority to fire her, but we haven't heard he...

Trump accused of 'cobbling together' mortgage fraud allegations against Lisa Cook as top Democrats react furiously The Trump administration's attack on Lisa Cook's future at the Fed was led by Bill Pulte, a Trump-appointed official leading the US Federal Housing Finance Agency, who alleged she had claimed two different properties were her primary residences when obtaining mortgages in 2021.“How can this woman be in charge of interest rates if she is allegedly lying to help her own interest rates?” Pulte wrote on X, formerly Twitter. He referred the case to the Department of Justice for investigation.Their latest target is Dr Lisa Cook, a highly qualified, trailblazing economist, and the first Black woman to serve on the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors since Congress created it in 1913.Let me be very clear, the allegations against Dr Cook have been cobbled together as a pretext to try to replace her with someone who will be loyal first to Trump instead of the US Constitution or US law.I will ...

Days after Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte wrote a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi claiming Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook "falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms" by claiming two homes as her primary residence, Pulte dropped new evidence on Friday suggesting that Cook lied again on a government form.
"We have obtained a document Lisa Cook submitted to the U.S. Government while serving as Federal Reserve Governor. In it, on February 28, 2023, she represents to the U.S. Government that the Atlanta Property is her PERSONAL RESIDENCE," Pulte wrote on X. "However, Lisa Cook, as a then-sitting Fed Governor and six months earlier, on September 1, 2022, appears to have listed that sam...
