Trump establishes committee to investigate Federal Reserve’s Lisa Cook in latest effort to fire her

US President Donald Trump opened another chapter in his effort to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook Friday by establishing a “committee of inquiry” to investigate allegations that she made false statements in mortgage applications. The inquiry will include a hearing at the White House November 5, Trump said in a written memo, that Cook ‘shall’ attend to answer questions from the committee. The hearing wouldn’t be public but a transcript would be published, the memo said.
