President Trump called on Biden-appointed Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to resign on Wednesday after Bill Pulte criminally referred her to the Justice Department for mortgage fraud.
According to Pulte’s criminal referral, Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud by lying on her mortgage application and designating her out of state Atlanta condo as her “primary residence” – just two weeks after taking a loan on her Michigan home where she also claimed “primary residence.”
By claiming “primary residence” on her out of state condo, Lisa Cook received more favorable loan terms and a lower interest rate.
This is textbook occupancy fraud.
