Fed Cook denies fraud allegations, lawyer calls it "political persecution"
According to Jinse Finance, the Wall Street Journal reports that the lawyer for Fed governor Cook provided a detailed defense of her mortgage application on Monday, arguing that the apparent discrepancies in the loan documents were either accurate at the time or "unintentional markings," and that given the other information disclosed to the lenders, these discrepancies could not constitute fraud. The Supreme Court has currently blocked Trump's attempt to remove her from office and will hear arguments in January. In a letter to the Attorney General, Cook's lawyer also accused the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), DeMarco, of selectively targeting Trump's political opponents while ignoring similar accusations against Republican officials.
