President Donald Trump on Monday night escalated his conflict with Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook by removing her from the Fed's board. The move comes after Trump urged the governor to resign her post last week over allegations that she may have committed mortgage fraud before she took her place on the Federal Reserve Board. Cook declined Trump's call to resign. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte notified Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this month that Cook allegedly "falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms, potentially committing mortgage fraud."


President Donald Trump signed an executive order ending cashless bail on Monday. "One of the executive orders has to do with cashless bail -- that's when the big crime in this country started," Trump said before signing the order. He said that when a person kills someone, and they are released on cashless bail, they are just told to return to court, but they don't. "They thought it was discriminatory" to require bail after killing people on the street, Trump said. The executive order charges the attorney general to identify cashless bail jurisdictions in order to withhold their federal funding. "So important -- this isn't Republican or Democrat, Trump said, signing the order. "By the way, most Democrats agree with this. We got to bring our country back."
