Fed Governor Cook's mortgages: What's known and what's not
U.S. President Donald Trump says he is removing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook for "cause," citing what he said were "false statements" on two mortgages she took out in 2021, about a year before the Senate confirmed her appointment to the Fed.
