A lawyer representing New York Attorney General Letitia James called on the Department of Justice to reject a criminal referral by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte that accused James of mortgage fraud.
The Associated Press reports attorney Abbe Lowell – who was last seen in the news defending Hunter Biden – wrote a letter to US Attorney General Pam Bondi claiming Pulte had “cherry-picked” evidence relating to mortgage documents signed by James in August 2023 for a Norfolk, Virginia, home that she purchased with her niece. The documents included a two-page power-of-attorney form signed by James that stated, “I intend to occupy this property as my principal residence.”
However, Lowell insisted the form was meant to provide gave James’ niece, Shamice Thompson-Hairston, the authority to sign documents on her behalf because she was not present for the closing. Lowell argued the power-of-attorney form “mistakenly stated the property to be Ms. James’ principal residence,” adding that James sent an email to her mortgage broker two weeks earlier claiming the Virginia property would not be her primary residence. Thompson-Hairston is living at the Norfolk property
Lowell alleged Pulte’s referral was meant to denigrate James, who has brought multiple lawsuits against Trump and his administration and won a $454 million judgment against him last year in a lawsuit claiming he overvalued his assets on financial statements given to banks – Trump is appealing that verdict.
“The stunning hypocrisy of President Trump’s complaint that the Justice Department had been ‘politicized’ and ‘weaponized’ against him is laid bare as he and others in his Administration are now asking you to undertake the very same practice,” Lowell wrote, adding, “We would expect a quick response confirming that this referral matter has been closed.”
Ya know what Pam’s going to do with that letter….right? 🙄
She has a high end lawyer and all of them ask for no charges. If charges are brought there will be a filing for summary dismissal, and so on.
I hope that James woman gets the same treatment as Trump did. then I’ll understand the Justice system is fair. I hope that Leticia James does prison time… she will look good in orange. lock her up
Amen. The Lefties do all sorts of bad things and accuse their opponents of those actions. They are beyond hypocrites.
Looks like ‘file 13’ junk mail to me.
That’s the danger of weaponizing the justice system and doing all the things they did…it set a precedent. Also, censoring free speech, etc etc all the things they have done..under the guise of stopping Hitler lol. But if that is the new precedent, and we are empowering government to do all that, do you want that same power to be wielded by a different administration ?
This is BS. You know why T is going after Letitia this time? It is because the NY Stock Exchange is in NY and as such, she is the only official who can investigate all the insider trading that went on in T world just before he announced the tariffs. GO GET THEM, LETITIA!
What insider trading? Everyone knew the tariffs were coming. The stock market is an emotional roller coaster that ebbs and flows with every piece of daily news, good, bad, non-consequential. How can that be insider trading?
Go woke yourself.
The ultimate in ironies. What’s good for the goose and all that. Perfect choice in the attorney for the defendant. Abbie’s experienced in helping fraudsters who misstate the truth on Federal forms.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. I SAY THROW THE BOOKAT LETISHA AND REMOVE HER AS A FAIR AND HONEST JUDGE
She is asking to dismiss one of the several charges against her. They should charge her with the crime and let the evidence speak for itself.
No one is above the law just like the DemoRats rant about Trump when they we’re going after him
