Trump says Fed Governor Lisa Cook 'must resign' after William Pulte alleges mortgage fraud
It's the latest scrutiny by the Trump administration over the mortgages of prominent Democratic figures, including California Sen. Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
President Donald Trump said on Truth Socialthat Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook “must resign, now!!!”
Trump’s comment came after the director of the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency, William Pulte, a sharp critic of the Fed, alleged in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi that Cook “falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms, potentially committing mortgage fraud.”
In the letter that Pulte called a “criminal referral,” he said that his agency had obtained her mortgage documents and requested that the Justice Department review the matter.
He further alleged that Cook falsified her “residence statuses for an Ann Arbor, Michigan-based residence and an Atlanta, Georgia-based property.”
Pulte’s letter is the latest scrutiny over the mortgages of prominent Democratic figures, including Sen. Adam Schiff of California and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
The letter about Cook’s mortgages ratchets up the administration’s pressure on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. Pulte has posted on social media dozens of times calling on Fed Chair Jerome Powell to resign or lower rates, and he attended Trump’s recent tour of the Federal Reserve’s headquarters renovation.
Cook has a permanent vote on the central bank’s rate-setting committee and was appointed by President Joe Biden to a term running until 2038.
Before joining the Fed, Cook was a professor of economics at Michigan State University. Cook, a graduate of Spelman College and Oxford University, is regarded in the economics field as a trailblazer. She is the first Black woman to serve on the Federal Reserve board in the U.S. central bank’s more than 100-year history.
The Federal Reserve declined to comment on Trump's post Wednesday. The Justice Department and FHFA did not immediately respond to requests for comments.

Ed Martin Suggests NY Attorney General Letitia James Resign to Avoid Further Conflict
August 20, 2025 | Sundance |
As noted by the Associated Press, “President Donald Trump’s political weaponization czar sent a letter urging New York Attorney General Letitia James to resign from office “as an act of good faith” four days after starting his mortgage fraud investigation of her. Then he showed up outside her house.”
Letitia James’ lawyer, Abbe Lowell, shared the content of the letter with the media as both James and her legal representatives continue efforts to leverage media as a defensive strategy.
NEW YORK – President Donald Trump’s political weaponization czar sent a letter urging New York Attorney General Letitia James to resign from office “as an act of good faith” four days after starting his mortgage fraud investigation of her.
Then he showed up outside her house.
Ed Martin, the director of the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group, told James’ lawyer on Aug. 12 the Democrat would best serve the “good of the state and nation” by resigning and ending his probe into alleged paperwork discrepancies on her Brooklyn townhouse and a Virginia home.
“Her resignation from office would give the people of New York and America more peace than proceeding,” Martin wrote. “I would take this as an act of good faith.” (read more)
Martin’s investigation stems from a letter Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi in April asking her to investigate and consider prosecuting James, alleging she had “falsified bank documents and property records.”
Pulte, whose agency regulates mortgage financiers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, cited “media reports” claiming James had falsely listed a Virginia home as her principal residence, and he suggested she may have been trying to avoid higher interest rates that often apply to second homes.
Director Pulte also accused James of lying in property records aboutthe number of apartments in the Brooklyn townhouse she has owned since 2001.

Government Insider: ‘Massive Wealth Transfer Could Begin September 1st’

Mark your calendar: September 1st, 2025 could be the most important date for American investors in over a century.
That’s when the government could begin the largest release of national wealth since Lincoln’s Homestead Act of 1862.
Jim Rickards – former advisor to the CIA, Treasury, and Pentagon – just revealed the stunning details in an emergency presentation that’s sending shockwaves through Washington.
“What Trump has set in motion defies belief,” Rickards explained. “We’re about to see a monetary event unlike any in history.”
Here’s what’s happening: Trump is preparing to unlockwhat he calls a “national endowment” worth at least $150 trillion. That’s enough money to buy every company on the NASDAQ, every private home in America, and every Bitcoin in existence – with trillions left over.
But this isn’t some government handout program. This is about unleashing America’s vast mineral wealth that’s been locked up by environmental regulations for decades.
Most people don’t realize this… But the government controls 250 million acres of land containing world-class deposits of copper, lithium, gold, and rare earth metals. Resources worth more than the GDP of every other nation combined.
And thanks to Trump’s recent legislation, the first land sales could begin as early as September 1st.
It seems that smart money is already positioning for this historic event. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has been buying mining stocks. Billionaires like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are pouring fortunes into this sector.
But here’s the twist: Regular investors may have an advantage over the ultra-wealthy in this situation.
Rickards has identified a handful of companies that could explode when the land rush begins.
