According to BlockBeats, on August 29, lawyer for Federal Reserve Governor Cook stated that the mortgage dispute leading to Trump's request for her dismissal may stem from an 'unintentional clerical error', aimed at undermining the allegations of fraudulent intent made by Trump and Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Pruitt. The legal team stated that even if there was a mistake, it was not a deliberate deception, and no one was harmed as a result, which pertains to the legal standard of 'substantiality'.
Before Cook joined the board, perhaps he mistakenly labeled the purpose of the house in the mortgage application, but there was neither intent nor substantial impact, which does not constitute the 'just cause' required for dismissal," the lawyer wrote in the application for a temporary injunction. The legal team also pointed out that Trump and Pruitt did not even clearly accuse Cook of profiting from the mistake, nor that the mistake was intentional. (Jinshi)
