2nd criminal referral against Cook

Pulte on Thursday said that in April 2021, “Cook entered a 15-year mortgage for a condominium in [Cambridge], representing it as her ‘Second Home.’”

“Only eight months later, on December 1, 2021, Cook signed an ethics form with the U.S. Government that this property was an ‘investment/rental property,’” Pulte wrote.

But “in subsequent filings from 2022 to 2025, Cook consistently listed this property as an investment/rental property, not a second home,” he wrote.

“Representing the property as a second home may have allowed Cook to secure a lower ‘Second Home’ mortgage down payment and rates, as investment properties typically carry higher down payments and higher rates due to increased risk,” Pulte wrote.
