Trump Forms Committee to Investigate Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook Over AllegationsPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump has established a committee to investigate Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over allegations of mortgage-related false statements. The committee will hold a closed hearing on November 5, where Cook can present evidence and be questioned. Trump seeks to determine if there is cause for her removal, following a Supreme Court decision allowing her to remain while contesting earlier firing attempts. Cook's legal team denies the allegations, calling them unfounded and based on clerical errors.
