Summary
A presidential executive order establishes a committee of inquiry to investigate allegations that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa DeNell Cook made false statements in connection with mortgage instruments, according to the publisher's summary of the order. The committee's stated purpose extends beyond fact-finding: it is tasked with recommending whether cause exists for Cook's removal from the Federal Reserve Board.
The order is documented on the Trump Executive Order Tracker. The available text of the publication consists largely of site notices and cookie disclosures and does not include the order's full operative provisions. Details such as the committee's composition, reporting timeline, the specific mortgage documents at issue, and the statutory basis for any removal recommendation are therefore not confirmed in the available material. Readers should consult the official text of the executive order and any accompanying Federal Register publication for those specifics.
