"These referrals prompted President Donald Trump to attempt to dismiss Cook for cause on Aug. 25. Nothing in the referral letters even remotely suggests that the government could carry that burden because there is no evidence that Governor Cook made false representations or had the required specific intent to defraud, states the letter, which was signed by Cook's attorney, Abbe David Lowell."
"In a letter to Bondi and Special Attorney Edward Martin, Lowell argued that the criminal referrals were prepared with no or minimal research into the actual facts and were used as a pretext for Trump and Pulte to investigate those viewed as obstacles to the president's political and economic agenda. Lowell also wrote that Pulte's actions were a response to the President's desire to change the makeup of the Federal Reserve Board."
The DOJ reportedly launched an investigation into claims stemming from two criminal referrals that FHFA Director Bill Pulte sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi. Those referrals prompted President Donald Trump to attempt to dismiss Governor Cook for cause on Aug. 25. Cook's attorney, Abbe David Lowell, asserts the referrals contain no evidence of false representations or intent to defraud and were prepared with minimal factual research. Lowell alleges the referrals were used as a pretext for political and economic pressure, linked to a desire to influence Federal Reserve composition and interest-rate policy. Cook's residency history reflects academic and government positions, and her Ann Arbor home remains her primary residence.
