Neutral Summary
President Trump has established a three-member 'committee of inquiry' to investigate mortgage fraud allegations against Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. This move follows a June 2026 Supreme Court ruling that blocked Trump's previous attempt to fire Cook, citing a lack of procedural due process. The committee will hold a closed hearing on November 5, 2026, where Cook can present evidence and respond to allegations that she misstated residency on mortgage documents for properties in Michigan and Atlanta. Following the hearing, the committee will recommend to the President whether 'cause' exists for her removal.
