- The committee comprises Kevin Hassett, Keith Sonderling and Andrea Lucas, three executive-branch officials.
- An in-person hearing for Cook and the committee is scheduled at the White House on November 5.
- Through her lawyers, Cook questioned the inquiry’s legitimacy but welcomed the opportunity to present the facts.
- In June, the Supreme Court upheld a temporary block on her firing because she lacked proper legal due process.
As President, it is my job to ensure the laws are faithfully executed, including by firing subordinates who cannot be trusted to tell the truth and follow the law,— Donald Trump, in the memo establishing the committee of inquiry
