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

A top Justice Department official on Thursday called for the head of the Federal Reserve to remove an official from its board, the day after President Donald Trump also demanded action over allegations of mortgage fraud.

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.
