President Donald Trump’s Federal Housing Finance Agency boss Bill Pulte insisted on Wednesday that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook will be indicted for mortgage fraud, “no matter what the Supreme Court does.”. Speaking to CNBC’s Sara Eisen on Wednesday, Pulte said he believes the year-long legal saga will result in criminal charges for Cook, the first Black woman to serve on the Board of Governors.
“This is not political from my perspective,” Pulte said. “I’m in charge of making sure that we have a mortgage market that is safe and sound. It doesn’t matter whether you’re Republican or Democrat, or a Fed governor. If you commit mortgage fraud, we’re going to refer it, and that’s what we did in the Lisa Cook case.”
He added: “I do believe that eventually she will be indicted, and let’s say the Supreme Court rules against the people who are saying there’s cause and that there’s the ability to fire her. I do expect her to be indicted. That’s just my own opinion.”
Concluding his argument, Pulte said: “So I think that no matter what the Supreme Court does, look, we have to prosecute mortgage fraud, and I believe in her case, in my opinion, there’s blatant mortgage fraud.”

His office wouldn't be doing this, DOJ would be and we know their track record. Hope to see a grand jury hand them a "no bill".
