Trump Administration's Hypocrisy Exposed
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, hasn't even filed his own disclosure form with the SEC as required.
Trump's attempt to fire Cook ended up before the Supreme Court, where lawyers for the administration claimed that Cook's firing is merited because she committed "financial misfeasance."
Despite Cook not being charged with any crime, the administration has continued to push for her termination, with additional loan documents suggesting that the alleged fraud was likely a clerical error.
The hypocrisy of the situation is evident, with Pulte's own failure to file a disclosure form being overlooked while he targets others for similar issues.
