Trump creates committee to investigate Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook
President Donald Trump announced Friday the creation of a committee to investigate allegations against Federal Reserve board member Lisa Cook.
Committee hearing scheduled for November
The new group will hold an in-person meeting on November 5 to review evidence and allegations. This hearing is planned to take place next month according to the schedule released by the administration.
Allegations involve mortgage instrument statements
Investigators are looking into claims that Cook made false statements regarding one or more mortgage instruments. The committee will consult with justice department officials before deciding if there is cause for her removal.
Hearing details and public access
The upcoming session will be closed to the public but a transcript will be published afterward. Cook can submit a written statement to present her own evidence during this process.
