When Will the US Federal Reserve Drop Interest Rates?

The Trump administration Sunday continud its attempt to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, filing its requests with the U.S. Court of Appeals. This comes after a Thursday filing calling misrepresentations in his mortgage applications as "fraud if made knowingly" or reflective of a "lack of care in financial matters."

The Trump administration Sunday continud its attempt to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, filing its requests with the U.S. Court of Appeals. This comes after a Thursday filing calling misrepresentations in his mortgage applications as "fraud if made knowingly" or reflective of a "lack of care in financial matters."

Cook has been under scrutiny since Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte accused her of mortgage fraud, claiming she listed both an Atlanta property and a home in Ann Arbor, Mich., as primary residences simultaneously. He submitted a criminal referral to the Justice Department (DOJ).

Cook has been under scrutiny since Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte accused her of mortgage fraud, claiming she listed both an Atlanta property and a home in Ann Arbor, Mich., as primary residences simultaneously. He submitted a criminal referral to the Justice Department (DOJ).

The administration's most recent filing comes after several media outlets reported that a loan estimate dated May 28, 2021 shows Cook declared her Atlanta condominium as a "vacation home" rather than her primary residence when applying for the mortgage and also described the property as a "second home" on a December 2021 questionnaire for national security position.

This mortgage fraud investigation represents a corrupt abuse of power designed to target Trump's political opponents through selective prosecution. The tactic mirrors Nixon-era tactics of weaponizing government agencies against adversaries, with officials rummaging through mortgage records of critics like a fishing expedition. Cook's documents actually show transparency with her lender, undermining the entire fraud narrative.

Cook has by no means been exonerated in this case. Her documents reveal inconsistencies that raise serious questions about her integrity and fitness to manage the nation's money supply. The evidence shows she signed standardized federal paperwork claiming properties as primary residences while simultaneously describing them differently elsewhere. These aren't minor clerical errors but potential violations of federal law.
