[The Federal Reserve Board of Governors member Cook stated that he would not resign due to bullying. Trump officials quickly rebutted] The Federal Reserve Board of Governors member Cook issued a statement saying: "I learned from the media that the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Pult, posted on social media that he is making a criminal referral regarding a mortgage application from four years ago, which was before I joined the Fed. I have no intention of resigning due to some questions raised on Twitter and the bullying I have faced. As a member of the Fed, I do take any questions regarding my personal financial history seriously, so I am gathering accurate information to address any legitimate inquiries and provide the facts." Pult also quickly responded, stating: "Miss Cook, you or your lawyer can write whatever you want. The basis for your exposure is the mortgage documents, not Twitter."
