Attorneys for Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook are denying allegations that the key Fed official committed mortgage fraud. In a Tuesday filing, Cook's attorneys submitted additional arguments in support of a request for a temporary restraining order that would block President Donald Trump's attempt to oust a key member of the Federal Reserve.
