Federal Reserve’s Cook Denies Fraud Allegations, Lawyer Calls It “Political Persecution”

According to Jinse Finance, The Wall Street Journal reported that lawyers for Federal Reserve Governor Cook on Monday provided a detailed defense for the first time regarding her mortgage application, arguing that the apparent discrepancies in the loan documents were either accurate at the time or were "unintentional marks." Given other information disclosed to the lender, these discrepancies do 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 lawyers also accused FHFA Director Sandra Thompson of selectively targeting Trump's political opponents while ignoring similar allegations against Republican officials.
