特朗普设立委员会调查美联储理事库克，11 月 5 日将在白宫举行听证
白宫 10 月 9 日宣布，特朗普总统已设立一个三人调查委员会，调查美联储理事莉萨·库克（Lisa Cook）被指在房贷文件中作不实陈述的指控，并向总统报告是否存在罢免她的「正当理由」。备忘录落款日期为 10 月 7 日。
委员会成员为国家经济委员会主任凯文·哈塞特（Kevin Hassett）、劳工部长兼政府道德办公室代理主任基思·桑德林（Keith Sonderling）和平等就业机会委员会主席安德烈娅·卢卡斯（Andrea Lucas）。委员会定于 11 月 5 日在白宫举行当面听证，听证不公开，但记录将对外公布。
背景是：今年 6 月，最高法院阻止特朗普罢免库克，但表示只要给予适当通知和答辩机会，总统可以再试。库克否认有任何不当行为、也未被刑事起诉；她的律师表示，她欢迎陈述事实以自证清白。（资料来源：白宫备忘录、路透社、CNN、美联社）
Trump Forms Committee to Probe Fed Governor Lisa Cook; White House Hearing Set for Nov. 5
President Trump has formed a three-person committee of inquiry to investigate allegations that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook made false statements in mortgage documents, and to report back whether there is 'cause' for her removal, the White House announced on Oct. 9 in a memorandum dated Oct. 7.
The members are National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling — also acting director of the Office of Government Ethics — and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Chair Andrea Lucas. The committee will hold an in-person hearing at the White House on Nov. 5; it will not be public, but a transcript will be published.
In June, the Supreme Court blocked Trump from removing Cook while noting he could try again if she received proper notice and an opportunity to respond. Cook denies wrongdoing and has not been charged with a crime; her attorneys say she welcomes the opportunity to present the facts and clear her name.
