  "account": "Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook is facing allegations of making false statements on mortgage documents, according to the White House. President Donald Trump has launched a committee to investigate the claims, which could lead to her removal from the central bank. The probe, set to take place on November 5, will examine the allegations that Cook made \"false statements in connection with one or more mortgage instruments.\" Cook has denied the allegations and stated she is ready to present evidence to defend herself. The hearing will be closed to the public and last no more than four hours, with Cook required to attend and answer questions from the committee. The committee includes Trump’s top economic adviser, Keith Sonderling, and the head of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The allegations concern two homes Cook owned in 2021, with mortgage lenders potentially offering different terms based on whether a property is a primary residence or a second home.",
