The PROBLEM is how this loon guy in the FHA has characterized her forms, claiming she made these properties her "primary residence" and she did NOT, and he carefully left out info. From the above link -

Lisa Cook's bank documents appear to contradict Trump administration's mortgage fraud allegations

Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte and President Donald Trump, who has moved to fire Cook, have accused the central bank board member of passing off the property as her main residence for financial gain. Cook has repeatedly denied the allegation, and administration officials have not provided definitive evidence supporting their claims.

A loan summary from the Bank-Fund Staff Federal Credit Union in May 2021 reads: “Property Use: Vacation Home.” Additionally, public records in Fulton County, Georgia, reviewed by NBC News show that no tax exemptions available for a primary residence were sought by Cook.

A second document obtained by NBC News, Cook’s “questionnaire for national security positions," which was submitted to the Biden administration in late 2021 and later the Senate, lists a question that reads: “Please list all of your interests in real property, including additional homes, vacation homes, rental properties, and interests in trusts that may hold property.” Cook responded by writing “2nd home” followed by the address of the Atlanta property.

Pulte has also said in recent interviews and in social media postings that Cook "made misrepresentations about her mortgages to the Federal Government when she was a Governor." Cook’s national security questionnaire was filed with the Biden administration in December 2021. Cook joined the Fed after being confirmed by the Senate in May 2022.

People need to stop trying to accept the RW loon fucking framing when their past practices have been and continue to be, manufactured bullshit.
