LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON DONALD TRUMP’S BASELESS ATTACK ON DR. LISA COOK

Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

Dr. Lisa Cook is the first Black woman ever to serve on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Donald Trump is trying to remove her without a shred of credible evidence that she has done anything wrong.

To the extent anyone is unfit to serve in a position of responsibility because of deceitful and potentially criminal conduct, it is the current occupant of the White House. The American people are not buying your phony projection and slander of a distinguished public servant.
