‘Pattern of lawfare’: Trump is targeting opponents with mortgage fraud claims

First Letitia James, then Adam Schiff and now president has trained his ire on Lisa Cook, threatening to fire Fed governor

Donald Trump and his allies have been accused of executing a pattern of lawfare" akin to those exerted by authoritarian regimes in Hungary and Russia after adopting a new strategy to target political opponents: allegations of mortgage fraud.

First it was Letitia James, the New York attorney general, then it was Adam Schiff, a California senator. Now, the president is targeting Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, demanding she resign and threatening to fire her.
