Overview

• A May 28, 2021 loan estimate from Bank‑Fund Staff Federal Credit Union lists the Atlanta property’s use as “Vacation Home.”
• Cook’s national security questionnaire later labeled the condo a “second home,” and Fulton County records show she did not claim a primary‑residence tax exemption there.
• U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb granted a preliminary injunction keeping Cook on the Board, and the administration is seeking emergency relief ahead of the Sept. 16–17 Fed meeting.
• The DOJ opened a criminal inquiry after FHFA Director Bill Pulte’s referral and issued grand‑jury subpoenas in Georgia and Michigan, though no charges have been filed.
• Critics’ reliance on standard mortgage clauses is complicated by a lender‑consent caveat reflected in the loan estimate, and Pulte faces scrutiny over selective enforcement.
