特朗普总统威胁解雇联邦储备理事丽莎·库克,涉抵押贷款欺诈指控

摘要

特朗普总统威胁如果联邦储备理事丽莎·库克不辞职,将解雇她,此前她被指控抵押贷款欺诈。库克否认指控并拒绝辞职。

唐纳德·特朗普总统加大了对联邦储备的影响力度,威胁如果联邦储备理事丽莎·库克不辞职,将解雇她,理由是涉嫌抵押贷款欺诈。

争议焦点在于库克被指控将两处位于不同州的房产申报为主要住所,可能因此获得更优惠的抵押贷款条件。这些涉嫌违规行为发生在她2022年被任命为联邦储备理事会成员之前。

联邦住房金融局局长威廉·普尔特提出了这些指控,目前司法部正在审查此事。库克否认有任何不当行为,并表示不会被“胁迫”辞职。

法律专家指出,总统只能“有正当理由”解雇联邦储备理事,通常指不当行为或玩忽职守。此前没有总统尝试解雇在任理事,此举可能引发法律挑战。

此事发生之际,联邦储备治理层面紧张局势加剧,特朗普总统还准备更换主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔,并推动参议院确认经济学家斯蒂芬·米兰进入理事会。
