The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

This is clearly another case of Trump weaponizing a government agency to target his enemies. Pulte has made similar allegations against other vocal Trump critics, helping the president turn the U.S. government into a bastion of authoritarian thuggery. Unfortunately, this will continue to undermine confidence in the U.S. economy and its institutions.

Pro-Trump narrative

Mortgage fraud is a serious crime that must be prosecuted regardless of political affiliation. No one is above the law, and there's proof that Cook falsified documents to secure better loan terms by claiming two properties as primary residences simultaneously. This type of fraud undermines the public's faith in the integrity of the U.S. mortgage system.
