Contradicting the Trump administration's allegations! Reports say Federal Reserve Governor Cook declared her second property as a vacation home.

```

New documents show that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook’s Atlanta property was classified as a vacation home, potentially weakening fraud allegations.

On September 12, media reports indicated that a loan estimate dated May 28, 2021, shows that weeks before Cook completed her home purchase, her lender explicitly marked the property’s purpose as a “vacation home.” The document suggests that Cook informed the lender that the Atlanta property would not be her primary residence.

Previously, as mentioned by Wallstreet.cn, government officials led by Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte accused Cook of mortgage fraud, claiming she declared both her Atlanta property and her Ann Arbor, Michigan property as “primary residences” on mortgage documents.

This document is undoubtedly key to Cook’s defense as she fights her dismissal order in court. Two independent real estate experts stated that the document seems to support Cook’s innocence, as it shows she disclosed a consistent and clear intention for the property’s use to the lender during the loan application process.

Refuting Fraud Allegations

The Trump administration officials’ allegations were based on the standardized federal mortgage documents for Cook’s Atlanta and Michigan properties, which supposedly required each loan to be for a “primary residence.”

However, media cited Atlanta property records that specify this provision has a prerequisite: “unless otherwise agreed in writing by the lender.” The newly disclosed loan estimate appears to be such a “written agreement.”

In addition to the loan document, other evidence may also favor Cook.

According to property records and a Fulton County tax official, Cook has never applied for a primary residence tax exemption on her Georgia home.

Moreover, another independent document reveals that in a federal form (SF-86 supplemental document) for security clearance to obtain her Fed position, Cook also listed the Atlanta property as a “2nd home” in December 2021.

While this document is not directly related to the mortgage, its statement is consistent with the contents of the loan estimate.

So far, all parties have remained silent on the matter. Fed Governor Cook has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing with regard to her properties. Her lender and the FHFA spokesperson led by Bill Pulte have not responded to requests for comment.
