New York Attorney General Letitia James, who gained national attention for her of Donald Trump and the Trump Organization over alleged real estate valuation fraud, is the subject of a federal criminal referral for instances of alleged mortgage fraud.
The New York Post reports Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte sent the referral to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney Todd Blanche that claimed James “falsified records” to obtain loans on a Virginia property that she listed as her “principal residence” in August 2023. This occurred weeks before she litigated a civil fraud trial that resulted in a $454 million judgment against Trump and the Trump Organization.
“Ms. James was the sitting Attorney General of New York and is required by law to have her primary residence in the state of New York — even though her mortgage applications list her intent to have the Norfolk, VA, property as her primary home,” said Pulte’s referral letter stated. “It appears Ms. James’ property and mortgage-related misrepresentations may have continued to her recent 2023 Norfolk, VA property purchase in order to secure a lower interest rate and more favorable loan terms.”
Pulte’s referral also pointed out that James purchased a five-family dwelling in Brooklyn in 2001 but has “consistently misrepresented the same property as only having four units in both building permit applications and numerous mortgage documents and applications.” He also provided documents showing James purchased another property with her father as a co-signer that falsely listed the buyers as “husband and wife” in 1983 and 2000.
“While this was a long time ago, it raises serious concerns about the validity of Ms. James representations on mortgage applications,” Pulte added.
A spokesperson for James did not directly address the claims against her, declaring instead, “Attorney General James is focused every single day on protecting New Yorkers, especially as this administration weaponizes the federal government against the rule of law and the Constitution. She will not be intimidated by bullies — no matter who they are.”
Trump responded to the news on Truth Social platform by declaring, “Letitia James, a totally corrupt politician, should resign from her position as New York State Attorney General, IMMEDIATELY. Everyone is trying to MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN, and it can never be done with this wacky crook in office.”
The Virginia property that she listed as her “principal residence” in August 2023 leaves the office of NY State AG “vacant.” Since there was no NY AG when she litigated the civil fraud trial against Trump and the Trump Organization, does that change things??? Hmmm.
Great point and great question!
If we investigated every Democrat, we would convict 90% of them of serious crimes, including treason. The Democrat party is Crime Inc., a violent, Marxist cult. Americans need to be careful when Democrats are around. A majority of ‘left wing’ Democrats support the assassination of Trump, according to a recent poll. Keto in mind, all Democrats are left wing. If they’ll kill a president, they’ll kill anyone. It’s 1865 again.
TRIGGER WARNING: CONTENT INCLUDES SARCASM AND GOOD-NATURED POLITICAL HUMOR.
Boy! There are a lot of interesting claims in there!
One, at least, is easily disputed: I’m a Democrat, and I’m a centrist, not a left-winger.
Oh, wait, there’s another!
(since you offered no citations for any of your claims, I assume it’s okay if I don’t offer one for this) Virtually no “left wing” Democrats support political violence or assassination. I know a lot of Democrats, most are pretty angry at the dismantling of the Republic, but no one I know wants assassination and a shooting war.
Maybe get out more, friend. Talk to people–maybe even some Democrats! Get to know them, have some reasonable discussions, share a lemonade on the porch. I bet you’d kinda get used to us folks. Maybe you wouldn’t love us, but you might no longer want to say silly and untrue things about us to your friends.
p.s. I heard that all the Antifa riots planned for January 6th didn’t happen because they figured, “well, now that they have all the power, maybe they’ll stop calling us names!”
p.p.s. if James is tried fairly (a question these days) and found guilty, throw the book at her like anyone else.
Joe, while not all Democrats are extreme left-wing radicals, the more vocal and radical elements have dominated your party’s narrative in recent years. Moderate Democrats, though present, lack a strong voice and seem hesitant to challenge or speak out against the more extreme factions within the party. If they do speak up, they risk losing power, diminishing what little voice they have, and facing ridicule from corporate media.
Lol, I just finished my daily compliation of news stories about violent Democrats acrossthecountry. I will be asking the NAR, my state and local boards and legislators to address Democrat violence and the threat they pose to other people. I have hundreds of references bookmarked and saved. As a former Democrat, I am amazed at the inability of almost all Democrats to be calm and rational today. I was a liberal Democrat but the party today is run by violent progressives. I love when they post asking for references.
If the allegations are proven true, Letitia James will be forever remembered as the horribly divisive and toxic leftwing political hack who was taken down by her own arrogance, hypocrisy, corruption and fraud. It will be a fitting end.
Arrest her, get her ugly mug shot, let her sit in a front row seat like she did during the Trump Sham case, Prosecute and convict this liberal hypocritical anti American Bitch!!
Well put.
I agree with Franco’s comment above. Time to lock her up!!
Reminds me of an old saying, “You shouldn’t throw rocks if you live in a glass house.”
