Response to this claim
Lisa Cook claimed homes in Atlanta and Michigan as her primary residence on separate mortgage agreements and later rented out the Atlanta property, allegations Trump's committee is to weigh as possible cause to remove her from the Federal Reserve Board.
“we have significant concerns regarding the objectivity and fitness of the committee for its assigned purpose.”

Why we used this label
The reference point is the committee of inquiry Trump created to decide whether Cook made false statements on mortgage documents and should be removed from the Fed board. Lowell questions the committee's objectivity and fitness and calls its members biased, which condemns the process.
Trump created a White House committee to investigate mortgage allegations against Fed Governor Lisa Cook and recommend whether to fire her. Her lawyers call the panel biased, and a member, Kevin Hassett, says its hearing moved to December.
