Aug. 22 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump said Friday that he will fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook if she doesn't resign following accusations of financial misdoings.
"What she did was bad, so I'll fire her if she doesn't resign," Trump said to reporters, in regard to a criminal referral issued by U.S. Director of Federal Housing Bill Pulte to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin last week.
In the referral, Pulte purported Cook committed mortgage fraud in regard to homes in Ann Arbor. Michigan and Atlanta.
"Cook must resign, now!!" Trump posted Wednesday to his Truth Social account.
