Rocket Mortgage sues HUD and fights DOJ, arguing it shouldn't be liable for appraisers' actions.

Rocket Mortgage, the U.S.'s largest mortgage lender, has sued the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and moved to dismiss a lawsuit by the Department of Justice (DOJ). The company argues that HUD's regulations conflict with enforcement actions against lenders for appraiser conduct. Rocket Mortgage contends it should not be held liable for actions of independent appraisers and asserts its compliance with fair housing laws.
