Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook’s lawyers suggested that an unintentional “clerical error” may have been behind the mortgage dispute over which President Donald Trump wants her fired. Cook sued Thursday to block Trump’s “illegal attempt,” saying he’s using a phony pretext that doesn’t amount to sufficient “cause” to remove her from the US central bank. In court papers, her lawyers laid out for the first time a potential defense to allegations that she fraudulently listed homes in Michigan and Georgia as a “primary residence” when she obtained mortgages in 2021.On this edition, Joe speaks with: Bloomberg Washington Correspondent Tyler Kendall. Bloomberg International Economic and Policy Correspondent Michael McKee. Yale Budget Lab Co-Founder and President Natasha Sarin.
