HERE WE GO: RINO Thom Tillis Won’t Consider Nominee to Replace Embattled Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook Amid Court Battle Over Trump Firing

September 3, 2025

RINO Senator Thom Tillis (NC) on Wednesday told reporters that he will not consider a nominee to replace embattled Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook amid a court battle over President Trump’s attempt to fire her.

As previously reported, Lisa Cook filed a lawsuit after President Trump fired her as Federal Reserve Governor – and the lawsuit was assigned to a Biden-appointed judge.

Cook is suing President Trump, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.

Tillis said he’s waiting to consider a new nominee until the Biden judge decides whether President Trump can fire Lisa Cook.

“I’m not going to consider anybody until that’s been adjudicated,” Tillis told reporters Wednesday, according to Politico.

“I’m going to leave it to the courts to decide whether or not it’s legal,” Tillis said amid Cook’s lawsuit against Trump, Politico reported. “But if in fact it is to be for cause, it’s dubious whether or not — even if these events are as they’ve been described — [they’re] a basis for cause. If it’s a move to really kind of create a partisan divide in the Fed, then I’m against it on that basis.”

“I have no interest in moves that would make the Fed really come under direct control of the executive branch,” Tillis said in a separate interview with reporters.

Lisa Cook allegedly committed occupancy fraud (and perhaps tax fraud) on all three of her properties.

According to Federal Housing Director Bill Pulte’s first criminal referral to the DOJ, Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud by lying on her mortgage application and falsifying bank statements when she designated her out-of-state Atlanta condo as her “primary residence”—just two weeks after taking a loan on her Ann Arbor, Michigan home, which she also claimed as her “primary residence.”

A reporter named Charlie Duff walked up to the door at Lisa Cook’s Michigan home and knocked on the door. He observed a “white man” sitting at a the dining room table inside of the residence.

When asked if Lisa Cook lives at the residence, the man said, “we’re just renting.”

“You’ll have to talk to the owner,” the man said through the closed door.

WATCH:

Pulte also said Cook misrepresented a condominium in Cambridge, Massachusetts when she claimed it was a “second home”. Eight months later, Cook signed an ethics form with the US Government and represented the Cambridge property as an “investment/rental property.”

Lisa Cook admitted in a court document that she manufactured documents and hinted a ‘clerical error’ is behind the mortgage fraud accusations.
