Attorneys for Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook are denying allegations that the key Fed official committed mortgage fraud. In a Tuesday filing, Cook's attorneys submitted additional arguments in support of a request for a temporary restraining order that would block President Donald Trump's attempt to oust a key member of the Federal Reserve. The attorneys said in the 31-page filing that Cook didn't receive proper due process, including an opportunity to address the allegations made against her, and the justification for her firing wouldn't rise to the level of "for cause" removal.
U.S. Senator Adam Schiff, the top prosecutor in President Donald Trumps impeachment trial in 2019 and who has long been a prime target of the president, recently started a legal defense fund amid talks of an investigation by the Department of Justice into his finances. It's clear that Donald Trump and his MAGA allies will continue weaponizing the justice process to attack Senator Schiff for holding this corrupt administration accountable, Marisol Samayoa, a spokesperson for the California Democrat, said in a statement.
