Claim misleads about ‘mortgage fraud’ on Trump’s Cabinet

Claim About 'Mortgage Fraud' in Trump's Cabinet Misleading

A recent claim on a CNN roundtable suggested that three Trump Cabinet members committed 'mortgage fraud'. However, this assertion is misleading.

An investigation by ProPublica revealed that three Cabinet members signed mortgages stating separate houses as their principal residences. The documents required them to make these homes their principal residence for a year, but there is no evidence to suggest they failed to comply.

Our only agenda is to publish the truth so you can be an informed participant in democracy.

In conclusion, the claim about 'mortgage fraud' in Trump's Cabinet is misleading and lacks evidence of wrongdoing.
