US President Donald Trump on Friday said he would fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook if she did not resign, after he excoriated her over claims of mortgage fraud.

Responding to a question about Cook's position, Trump told reporters in Washington that he'd "fire her" if she does not leave of her own will.
