The attack dog targeting Trump opponents over their paperwork hasn’t even filed his own

Trump Administration's Hypocrisy Exposed

The Trump administration has been trying to fire Lisa Cook, a renowned economist and member of the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors, over claims of mortgage fraud.

However, it has been revealed that Bill Pulte, the chairman of the board of Fannie Mae and the one targeting Cook, hasn't even filed his own disclosure form with the SEC.

Trump's attempt to fire Cook is based on claims of "financial misfeasance," but Cook has not been charged with any crime, and additional loan documents suggest the alleged fraud was probably a clerical error.

The administration's actions have been framed as an attempt to hold Cook accountable for "potentially criminal" behavior, but the hypocrisy of Pulte's own unfiled disclosure form raises questions about the motivations behind the attack.
