WASHINGTON, United States (AFP)—United States (US) President Donald Trump has set up a committee to probe Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over alleged “false statements” linked to mortgages, renewing his efforts to oust her.
The committee is set to hold an in-person hearing on the matter on November 5, the White House said in a statement published Friday, attracting swift criticism from a key Democratic lawmaker.
Elizabeth Warren, top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, charged that Trump “is convening an illegitimate show trial” in an attempt to exert control over the independent US central bank.
