Interesting side note: tRump lackey Bill Pulte (of massively wealthy home builder family fame), heading US federal mortgage agencies, also accused Lisa Cook, Federal Reserve governor, of mortgage fraud.

But Pulte's parents (the massively wealthy homebuilders) made tax claims on a couple of their homes that amounts to tax fraud. Their state took notice and took action against them this year.
