President Donald Trump has formed a committee to investigate Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook over alleged mortgage fraud, an escalation after his previous effort to fire Cook was blocked by the Supreme Court.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
“As President, it is my job to ensure the laws are faithfully executed, including by firing subordinates who cannot be trusted to tell the truth and follow the law,” reads the memo, which was dated Wednesday.
The White House will hold an in-person hearing on 5 November to consider the allegations against Cook, which will be closed to the public but transcribed and published.
Trump’s chief economic policy advisor Kevin Hassett, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission chair Andrea Lucas and acting Office of Government Ethics director Keith Sonderling will comprise the newly formed committee, the memorandum said.
Cook immediately sued the Trump administration, and the supreme court reinstated her after a 5-4 ruling that she could stay on as governor while fighting the fraud allegations.
