What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFed governor Lisa Cook's lawyer is now challenging whether a panel appointed by President Trump can fairly review mortgage allegations against her.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLola Cruz is outside with the reaction.

  3. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI'm standing outside the building where this fight is playing out, and behind me a security guard has already told me twice that I cannot stand where I am standing.

  4. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThe lawyer's argument is simple: a panel picked by the president cannot be impartial about the president's own accusation.

  5. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI stopped a man on his way to work who says he has strong feelings about impartiality. Sir, your name?

  6. Desmond Okafor-ReyesDesmond Okafor-Reyes, and look, a panel picked by one side is no panel. I run a fantasy football league, and my commissioner is my brother-in-law.

  7. Desmond Okafor-ReyesHe ruled his own trade fair. It was not fair.

  8. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentSo you do believe in impartial review.

  9. Desmond Okafor-ReyesFor other people, yes. Mine is different, he's family.

  10. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLola, did he say who should pick the panel for the brother-in-law?

  11. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI asked, Hank. He said the brother-in-law should pick it.
