Trump forms White House committee to investigate Fed Governor Lisa Cook over mortgage fraud allegations.
President Donald Trump established a committee of inquiry to investigate whether Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook made false statements on mortgage applications. The committee includes the assistant to the president for economic policy, the EEOC chairman, and the OGE director, with a hearing expected in November. This follows a previous firing attempt that was blocked by the Supreme Court for lacking due process.
