What happened
President Donald Trump has established a committee to investigate Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over allegations of mortgage fraud. The newly formed committee will hold a hearing next month to review evidence and consider whether Cook made false statements on mortgage documents.

Center outlets such as Bloomberg and CNBC focus on the dramatic escalation and procedural aspects of the White House forming the investigative committee. Right-leaning outlets like the Washington Examiner similarly frame the committee as an escalation in the ongoing effort to remove Cook following the blocked termination attempt.
