Letitia James mortgage fraud allegations: What we know
The New York attorney general has been referred to the Department of Justice for alleged mortgage fraud.

New York Attorney General Letitia James, the woman who accused Trump of similar crimes, has been accused of mortgage fraud.
In a letter, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) referred James, a Democrat who has served as the state attorney general since 2019 to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging she falsified records to obtain a mortgage in 2023.
James has denied all wrongdoing. Newsweek contacted James' office via website form for comment
FHFA Director William J. Pulte said James claimed on a mortgage application in 2023 that a house in Norfolk, Virginia, was her primary residence, despite her position requiring New York residency.
The 1,450-square-foot single-family home in Norfolk was built in 1947 and has three bedrooms and one bathroom, per the deed. It was purchased for $240,000, with a $219,780 mortgage.
Pulte also claimed that she falsely stated the number of units in a Brooklyn property she owns by saying it had four units, not five, in 2021. He also claimed that James purchased another property with her father as co-signer but listed them as husband and wife in 1983 and 2000.
Pulte alleges wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud and false statements to a financial institution.
Of course, little to nothing will be done about it because the DNC controls the courts and entire justice system in the US, but it did give me a chuckle.
