On Wednesday, Trump called on Cook to resign after Federal Housing Finance Authority director William Pulte sent a "criminal referral" to Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing Cook of mortgage fraud. Neither Bondi nor the Justice Department has announced if they plan to open a criminal investigation into Cook.

Cook responded to Pulte in a statement, "I have no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet."

President Trump called on Fed Governor Lisa Cook to resign on Wednesday after one of his appointees accused her of mortgage fraud.
