What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLawyers for Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook say the committee President Trump set up to investigate her is demonstrably biased, and they want to know why the process looks the way it does.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIn a letter, they object to a hearing with biased members, unspecified additional allegations, and an unclear schedule for sharing any new evidence, with no explanation for why it was not produced before.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA hearing where the verdict seems settled and the charges are still being written is a pattern I have seen in more capitals than I care to list.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe question here is whether a central bank governor can be judged by people already leaning one way.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorUnspecified allegations. So the charges are a surprise party.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWith no date for the cake.
