"[Trump Resumes Efforts to Remove as Fed Governor Cook Again Denies Misconduct] BlockBeats News, August 27: Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook has once again denied the unsubstantiated mortgage fraud allegations repeatedly raised by Trump. Trump is reportedly considering whether to resume efforts to remove her, a move that could likely spark another intense legal battle over the independence of the Federal Reserve. In a letter to the White House on Wednesday, Cook's attorney stated that the allegations are 'baseless and untrue.' The letter further noted: 'Governor Cook has never engaged in mortgage fraud or any intentional misconduct, and there is no legal basis for her removal from the Federal Reserve Board.'" (Jin10)
