Trump Forms Committee to Investigate Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook Over Mortgage Allegations
President Donald Trump has established a committee to investigate Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over alleged false statements related to mortgage applications. The committee is set to hold a closed hearing on November 5, 2026, where Cook must appear and may submit a written statement and bring legal counsel. This move follows a Supreme Court decision allowing Cook to remain in her role amid earlier removal attempts. The committee includes senior officials such as Kevin Hassett and aims to determine if there is cause for her removal.
