Trump orders inquiry into Fed governor Lisa Cook as he seeks her removal2026-10-09Trump established a committee to investigate allegations that Cook made false statements on mortgage documents and report whether there is cause to remove her.The committee has called Cook to a White House hearing on Nov. 5, where she may present written evidence, but her lawyers say she cannot attend because of Fed meetings in Europe and could appear only after the Fed's Dec. 8–9 meeting.The Supreme Court ruled in June that Cook could remain in her post while having an opportunity to respond to the allegations, but did not bar Trump from trying again to remove her.Cook has denied wrongdoing and has not been charged with a crime.The inquiry comes amid the administration’s pressure campaign for lower interest rates; Cook has a vote on the Fed’s rate-setting committee.Cook’s lawyers called the committee demonstrably biased, noting that one member had already said Trump had cause to remove her.Trump establishes committee to investigate Federal Reserve's Lisa Cook in latest effort to fire her (Los Angeles Times)Trump establishes panel to probe Fed governor Lisa Cook in latest attempt to fire her (NBC News)Abogados de gobernadora de la Fed dicen que audiencia en la Casa Blanca está “sesgada” (Los Angeles Times)Trump sets up committee to investigate Fed Governor Lisa Cook over mortgage fraud allegations (Fox News)Trump establishes committee to investigate Fed Governor Lisa Cook’s mortgage fraud statements (The New York Post)Trump crea un comité para investigar a Lisa Cook por presunto fraude hipotecario y busca destituirla de la Reserva Federal (Infobae)Donald Trump n'en a pas fini avec Lisa Cook: après avoir essayé en vain de révoquer la gouverneure de la...
