President Trump called Wednesday for the resignation Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook following allegations by the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) that she committed mortgage fraud.
FHFA Director William Pulte wrote on social media platform X Wednesday morning that Cook had designated two of her houses as her primary residences.
“Lisa D. Cook, committed mortgage fraud by designating her out-of-state condo as her primary residence, just two weeks after taking a loan on her Michigan home where she also declared it as her primary residence,” he said.
Trump called for Cook to step down shortly thereafter.
“Cook must resign, now!!!” he wrote on his own social media website, Truth Social.
