Summary

President Trump established a committee of inquiry to examine allegations that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook made false statements on mortgage documents, part of his effort to remove her since August 2025. The Supreme Court blocked her firing in June 2026, ruling she lacked adequate chance to respond. Cook may submit a written statement before a hearing at the White House on Nov. 5, 2026, lasting up to four hours.
