Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook accused the Trump administration on Monday of “cherry-picking” evidence alleging she committed mortgage fraud.
In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Cook’s legal team expressed concern that the two criminal referrals Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte sent to the Justice Department, alleging fraud, lack a proper basis.
“Director Pulte’s referrals clearly omit numerous key records … that refute the allegations of impropriety. The full record makes clear that what he claims to be contradictions in loan applications were not contradictions at all, but were cherry-picked, incomplete snippets of the full documents submitted at the time and in subsequent filings by Governor Cook consistent with her applications,” lawyers wrote on Cook’s behalf.
