【Trump ally calls for investigation into Fed governor Cook's mortgage transactions, suggesting possible criminal offenses】Golden Finance reports that Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and a staunch ally of Trump, urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate two mortgage transactions by Fed governor Cook. Pulte wrote to Bondi and Justice Department official Ed Martin on August 15, stating that Cook 'forged bank documents and property records to obtain more favorable loan terms, potentially constituting mortgage fraud under criminal law.' He noted that Cook purchased a property in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and obtained a loan, promising to use it as his primary residence for at least a year, but two weeks later applied for another mortgage in Georgia, similarly declaring it as his primary residence. Pulte also cited four criminal law provisions, suggesting Bondi investigate whether potential charges exist. No charges have been filed yet, and it is unclear whether Bondi will initiate an investigation.
