Embattled Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook on Monday publicly discussed her alleged mortgage fraud during remarks at the Brookings Institution.
This is the first time Lisa Cook has publicly spoken since President Trump fired her in August over allegations of mortgage fraud.
“I would like to briefly address an issue that may be on some of your minds,” Lisa Cook said during her remarks.
“As many of you know, I am involved in an ongoing legal case. There are a number of people in this room and in this building who have reached out and been supportive in many ways. I am beyond grateful for that support,” Cook said.
“Because the case is ongoing, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further today,” Cook added.
“I will continue to carry out my sworn duties on behalf of the American people,” Cook said.
WATCH:
Lisa Cook apparently owns three properties, and she allegedly committed mortgage fraud on all three properties.
According to housing regulator Bill Pulte’s first criminal referral, Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud by lying on her mortgage application and falsifying bank statements when she designated her out-of-state Atlanta condo as her “primary residence”—just two weeks after taking a loan on her Michigan home, which she also claimed as her “primary residence.”
In August, Pulte sent a second criminal referral on Lisa Cook after she was allegedly caught lying about a third property.
Lisa Cook’s attorneys laughably claimed there would be an inflation crisis if Trump were allowed to fire Cook.
The US Supreme Court last month allowed embattled Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to remain in her chair for now.
The high court will hear the case in January 2026 and allow Lisa Cook to keep her job in the meantime.
This also means Lisa Cook will be able to participate in December’s interest rate meeting.
