NEW: Trump has targeted political foes — including Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook — for claiming more than one primary residence on their loan papers.

But ProPublica found that at least three of the president’s Cabinet members have done the same thing.

@ProPublica Ehh, what was the cornerstone to Drumpf's career except defrauding lenders?
[oh yes & bankruptcies & stiffing creditors]
I'm thinking of O'Brien in '1984' when Winston hears himself offering to throw acid at a child ...

@ProPublica Interesting how they accuse the left of making a big deal about it to discredit the trump regime but pulte manufacturing and weaponizing inside information to come after trump's enemies is perfectly A-OK.

@ProPublica It sounds to me like his argument here is "what about them" a classic kindergarten legal precedent.

@ProPublica LOL! Seems six-time bankrupt Trump scored another own goal, his cabinet gang members having committed the wrongdoings economic dunce Donnie would've liked to be found with Fed Governor Lisa Cook!

@ProPublica

I thought claiming to have your principal residence in a jurisdiction in which you don't live was a Republican national pastime.
