Trump Administration's Hypocrisy Exposed
Bill Pulte, the chairman of the board of Fannie Mae, has been targeting Trump opponents over their paperwork, but he hasn't even filed his own disclosure form with the SEC.
Recently, Donald Trump has been trying to fire Lisa Cook, a renowned economist and member of the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors, over claims of mortgage fraud.
Trump's administration claims that Cook's firing is merited because she committed "financial misfeasance."
However, Cook has not been charged with any crime, and additional loan documents suggest that the alleged fraud was likely a clerical error.
- Cook's firing was brought before the Supreme Court.
- Trump's administration has framed the issue as "potentially criminal" and termination-worthy.
- The issue was first raised by Bill Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA).
