The Trump administration 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.
However, it has been revealed that Bill Pulte, the chairman of the board of Fannie Mae and the one leading the charge against Cook, has not even filed his own disclosure form with the SEC as required.
Trump's attempt to fire Cook is based on claims of "financial misfeasance," but Cook has not been charged with any crime, and additional loan documents suggest the alleged fraud was likely a clerical error.
The administration's double standard has been exposed, with Pulte's own failure to file a disclosure form raising questions about his credibility in leading the charge against Cook.
