Story summary

President Donald Trump has established a committee to investigate Lisa Cook, a governor at the Federal Reserve, over alleged mortgage fraud. This follows his previous attempt to fire her in August 2025, which was blocked by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional. The new three-member panel includes the assistant to the president for economic policy, the chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the director of the Office of Government Ethics. They will hold an in-person hearing on November 5 where Cook can present her case. Trump claims his duty is to ensure subordinates follow the law truthfully, though Cook denies the allegations.
