14:15Now PlayingFederal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte suggested Thursday that his referral of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook for alleged mortgage fraud was part of a broader crackdown on the issue.
“We partnered with Palantir at Fannie Mae,” Pulte said on Bloomberg Television. “We said, look, everybody, beware: We are looking for mortgage fraud. We brought in Palantir. We have made tremendous efforts globally, across the population, across the data set, across the data set of loans from Fannie Mae.”
Pulte had urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to open a probe into Cook over a pair of mortgages allegedly claiming primary occupancy in a letter first reported by Bloomberg on Tuesday night. He spent much of the day Wednesday calling on Cook to step down or be removed, with President Donald Trump chiming in that she “must resign, now!!!” in a social media post that morning.
