As a governor with the Federal Reserve Bank, which sets interest rates that influence the cost of financing a home, you might think Lisa Cook would have a good handle on such things.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump would tell you otherwise.<\/p>\n

\"\"Trump fired Cook last week. Two criminal referrals against her have been referred to the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/p>\n

Cook reportedly owns three residences \u2014 two of which she claims on government forms as her primary residence \u2014 and rents out all three.<\/p>\n

Cook has a bank loan on a \u201csecondary\u201d home in Massachusetts, which the Trump Administration alleges she rents out full-time.<\/p>\n

\u201cA judge might call that mortgage fraud,\u201d Charlie LeDuff wrote for the Michigan Enjoyer on Sept. 2.<\/p>\n

Cook also owns a condo in Atlanta, which she claims is her primary residence on banking and government documents. The Trump Administration alleges there is evidence that she rents that one out, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that also could be mortgage fraud,\u2019 LeDuff wrote.<\/p>\n

Cook has a third home in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She also lists that home as her primary residence on banking and government papers.<\/p>\n

LeDuff asked: \u201cLisa must be living in Ann Arbor in the tidy brick house with a columned portico on Jackson Avenue, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

LeDuff stopped by the house to find out (see below).<\/p>\n

\u201cAll three mortgages were taken out by Cook in 2021, all within a timespan of two months, three weeks, and four days. In her 2025 government ethics filings, Cook claimed two of the properties are her primary residences and the Massachusetts dwelling is an income property. That\u2019s cheating,\u201d LeDuff noted.<\/p>\n

Cook has three basic questions to answer, LeDuff added:<\/p>\n

1. Was she renting the properties when she was supposed to be sleeping at them?
\n2. Did she claim rental income on her tax forms?
\n3. And where does she actually live?<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause it sure the heck ain\u2019t Ann Arbor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cook, meanwhile, is suing over her firing.<\/p>\n

Leftists, not surprisingly, accuse Trump of going after a prominent black woman because she refuses to lower interest rates as the president has demanded.<\/p>\n
