A Trump official's comments about the Federal Reserve set off alarm bells and fears that an attempt to take control of the country's central bank hasn't ended.

Trump Housing Director Bill Pulte said on CNBC on Wednesday that he expects Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook, whom he accused of mortgage fraud, to be indicted by the Department of Justice.

"I do believe that eventually she'll be indicted," he said, ahead of a Supreme Court decision that might not swing his way. "No matter what the Supreme Court does, we have to prosecute mortgage fraud."

" White House officials dictating who should be indicted to remove them from positions without cause ON NATIONAL TELEVISION," journalist Grant Stern blasted. "And Trump's people control the police and prosecutors."
