Mortgage Fraud Drama: Fed vs Trump’s Housecleaning Showdown
In a blockbuster episode of 'Fed Meets Trump,' Bill Pulte, head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, accused Fed Governor Lisa Cook of 'mortgage fraud' for flipping her supposed principal residences between Michigan and Atlanta. Pulte fired off a letter to the attorney general alleging Cook 'falsified bank documents and property records,' despite no defaults. Meanwhile, President Trump jumped on Truth Social demanding 'Cook must resign, now!!!' as he gears up to reshuffle Fed governors for a friendlier, low-interest-rate team. Meanwhile, Pulte sits at the mortgage throne, targeting Trump’s perceived foes like Adam Schiff and Letitia James.
