Bernat listed two properties as his "main residence" at the same time, which is consistent with the reason for Cook's dismissal.

The mortgage documents show that U.S. Treasury Secretary Benett once agreed to designate two different properties as his "primary residence" at the same time - this conflicting commitment is in line with the reasons cited by Trump when trying to dismiss Fed Governor Cook. However, mortgage experts say there is currently no evidence of any wrongdoing by him. On the contrary, his case shows that inconsistencies in housing loan documents do not necessarily prove fraudulent behavior. Bennett's lawyer Alex Spiro said that he could not comment on the similarities and differences in the situations of the two men as he had not studied Cook's specific circumstances in detail.
