Trump calls on Federal Reserve official to resign after ally accuses her of mortgage fraud
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Wednesday called on Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook to resign after a member of his administration accused Cook of committing mortgage fraud, the latest example of the Trump administration's efforts to gain control over the central bank. Bill Pulte, director of the agency that oversees mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, urged the Justice Department to investigate Cook, who was appointed to the Fed's governing board by former president Joe Biden in 2022. She was reappointed the following year to a term that lasts until 2038. Pulte, in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, alleged that Cook has claimed two homes as her principal residences — one in Michigan, the other in Georgia — to fraudulently obtain better mortgage lending terms. Pulte also charged in his letter that Cook has listed her condo in Atlanta, Georgia, for rent. Mortgages for homes used as principal residences typically carry lower interest rates than properties that are purchased to rent, Pulte's letter said. The allegation represents another front in the Trump administration's attack on the Fed, which has yet to cut its key interest rate as Trump has demanded. If Cook were to step down, then the White House could nominate a replacement. And Trump has said he would only appoint people who would support lower rates. The more members of the Fed's governing board that Trump can appoint, the more control he will be able to assert over the Fed, which has long been considered independent from day-to-day politics. Trump will be able to replace Chair Jerome Powell in May 2026, when Powell's term expires. Yet 12 members of the Fed's interest-rate setting committee have a vote on whether to raise or lower interest rates, so even replacing the Chair doesn't guarantee that Fed policy will shift the way Trump wants. All seven members of the Fed's governing board, however, are able to vote on rate decisions. The other five voters include the president of the Fed's New York branch and a rotating group of four of the presidents of the Fed's other 11 regional branches. Trump appointed two members of the Fed's board in his first term, Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman. Both dissented July 30 from the central bank's decision to keep its rate unchanged in favor of a rate cut. Another Fed governor, Adriana Kugler, stepped down unexpectedly Aug. 1, and Trump has appointed one of his economic advisers, Stephen Miran, to fill out the remainder of her term until January. If Trump is able to replace Cook, the first Black woman to serve on the Fed's board, as well as Kugler and Powell, that would give him a clear majority on the board of governors. Powell, however, could stay on the board after finishing his term as chair next May. The Federal Reserve declined to comment on the accusation. Trump has for months demanded that the Federal Reserve reduce the short-term interest rate it controls, which currently stands at about 4.3%. He has also repeatedly insulted Powell, who has said that the Fed would like to see more evidence of how the economy evolves in response to Trump's sweeping tariffs before making any moves. Powell has also said the duties threaten to raise inflation and slow growth. Trump says that a lower rate would reduce the government's borrowing costs on $37 trillion in debt and boost the housing market by reducing mortgage rates. Yet mortgage borrowing costs do not always follow the Fed's rate decisions. The Trump administration has made similar claims of mortgage fraud against Democrats that Trump has attacked, including California Sen. Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

KBRA Comments on TowneBank's Merger Agreement to Acquire Dogwood State Bank
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On August 19, 2025, Portsmouth, VA-based TowneBank (NASDAQ: TOWN)(KBRA Senior Unsecured Debt rating: A-/Stable Outlook) announced a definitive acquisition agreement with Raleigh, NC-based Dogwood State Bank, (OTC: DSBX, "Dogwood", $2.4 billion assets, $2 billion deposits) in an all-stock deal valued at $476.2 million (or $25.04/share of DSBX common stock, based on TOWN's 15-day average closing stock price of $35.77 on August 18, 2025), reflective of a price to TBV of 2.1x. The merger is expected to close in 1Q26. The proforma bank will have $22 billion in assets, $16 billion in loans, and $19 billion in deposits including the pending acquisition of Old Point Financial Corporation (expected to close September 1, 2025). This transaction would represent three closed acquisitions within a one-year time frame for TOWN. The acquisition significantly enhances TOWN's presence in North Carolina and South Carolina, two of the fastest-growing regions in the U.S. Further, the deal provides TOWN with the market leadership and scale as Dogwood has 17 retail branches in attractive markets including Raleigh, Charlotte, Greenville (NC), Wilmington, and Charleston (SC), complementing TOWN's existing Carolinas presence. Together, the combined entity will have a meaningful footprint across the top 5 Carolinas MSAs, including Charlotte, Raleigh, Greenville, and Charleston. Dogwood specializes in providing lending services (namely SBA lending) to small businesses through its small business lending division which will be complementary to TOWN's various existing business lines. While Dogwood's revenue mix is largely spread based (~80% - 85%), the addition of its SBA lending provides TOWN an additional fee generating business line (noninterest income has tracked near 40% of TOWN's total revenues in recent quarters). Dogwood's higher-yielding loan portfolio (6.81% for 2Q25) was slanted towards C&I, which represented 40% of total loans at 2Q25 (includes owner-occupied CRE), with non-owner occupied CRE comprising 28% (includes multi-family) and C&D at 10%. Additionally, with its focus on small business/SBA lending, Dogwood's loan portfolio carries a slightly elevated risk profile, though we note Dogwood's recent credit performance was generally in line with industry averages including an NCO ratio typically near 0.2%. Furthermore, TOWN has a long track record of peer-leading asset quality and a proven history of successful integration of past acquisitions. TOWN's loan review process covered 40% of Dogwood's loan portfolio with a diligent focus on its SBA lending and a credit mark of $22.5 million, or 1.2% of Dogwood's loans. The transaction also includes estimated interest rate marks of $38.1 million on the loan portfolio, $10.6 million on HTM securities, and $2.7 million on AOCI securities. Overall, the impact to TOWN's capital is expected to be moderate, with a reported proforma CET1 ratio of ~11% (we note that this proforma ratio includes the impact of the pending acquisition of Old Point Financial which is expected to close in 3Q25). With that said, TOWN has historically managed capital consistently at or above rated peer averages (CET1 ratio has generally ranged from 12% -13%). KBRA expects TOWN to rebuild capital closer to historical levels with enhanced profitability trends stemming from the pending transactions. Steve Jones, CEO of Dogwood, will remain in a key leadership position with the combined bank, assuming the role of President for TOWN's North Carolina and South Carolina banking operations supported by 75 seasoned bankers across the region. In addition, TOWN will appoint one director from DSBX to its board. As a reminder, TOWN recently announced the in-market acquisition of Old Point Financial Corporation ($1.5 billion assets) in a combination of stock and cash deal valued at ~$213 million, which is expected to close in 2H25. TOWN closed the Richmond, VA -based Village Bank and Trust Financial Corp ($748 million in assets) acquisition on April 1, 2025. This was an all-cash deal valued at $120 million. In our view, the acquisition of Dogwood State Bank represents a strategically significant expansion that strengthens TOWN's position within the fast-growing Carolinas corridor. The transaction broadens market penetration, enhances loan portfolio diversification, and bolsters the funding base with a greater proportion of low-cost deposits.
