What allegations did Trump make to justify removing Cook from the Federal Reserve?

Question

Accepted Answer

FHFA Director Bill Pulte alleged Cook made "false statements on one or more mortgage agreements" for Atlanta and East Lansing properties purchased in 2021. Pulte claimed she designated both as primary residences to obtain favorable interest rates. Cook denied allegations, and documents may show legitimate explanations (e.g., timing of moves, lender definitions of primary residence). Crucially, Trump fired Cook based on allegations alone—no charges filed, no investigation completed, no hearing held. Using unproven accusations as removal cause bypasses both criminal due process and administrative procedure requirements.
