A Reuters review of loan documents issued to Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook on an Atlanta home shows the property was declared as a “vacation home” and not as a “primary residence.”
Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has repeatedly insisted that Cook committed mortgage fraud by declaring both her Atlanta property and a property in Ann Arbor, Michigan, as primary residences in her mortgage applications. President Trump has used Pulte’s accusation and his subsequent criminal referral of Cook to the Department of Justice as justification to have Cook removed from the central bank.
However, Reuters confirmed that a loan estimate on the Atlanta property, dated May 28, 2021, was not listed as a primary residence. Instead, the loan estimate stated, “Property Use: Vacation Home.”
Furthermore, there is no documentation that Cook requested a tax exemption for the Georgia home as a primary residence, according to property records and a Fulton County tax official. Instead, a federal form filed by Cook ahead of her acceptance of the Federal Reserve position showed the Atlanta property was declared as a “second home.”
Pulte responded to the report on his personal X account by calling Cook a “liar.” Cook, who is suing to block Trump’s efforts to remove her from office, did not make any public comment.
How did Reuters get a copy of the loan documents?
Reuter is owed by Soro
So let me get this straight official documents show she declared the property as a 2nd home on both mortgage and tax records but she is a liar? Yet his parents who truly did declare according to official documents homestead on 2 residences are fine? Bill stick to building your overpriced houses that fall apart after a few years just like your case against Lisa Cook is falling apart. Take responsibility when you are wrong but hey you are part of an administration that is never wrong no matter what the evidence says.
I live in a Pulte home built in 1990. I love it, very solid and NOT falling apart. And the price was comparable to other homes. Anyway this doesn’t have anything to do with the story. So try to stay on point.
“So try to stay on point.”
Now that sounds like good advice to Pulte.
If Trump would choose people on merit instead of loyalty, he might not have jerks like Pulte.
A loan estimate is not a loan document. Lets see the actual loan papers and compare interest rates, second home to primary home.
Interesting point RR Rudy
