New York Attorney General Letitia James who repeatedly said the phrase, “no one is above the law,” as she pursued her witch hunt against President Donald Trump, has her own legal woes to deal with.
The controversial attorney general was given a federal criminal referral for alleged mortgage fraud on Tuesday, The New York Post reported after it obtained a copy of the letter.
Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte informed James of the referral in a letter sent to her and Deputy AG Todd Blanche.
The letter said that she was alleged to have “falsified records” to get a mortgage for a Virginia property that she claimed was her primary residence in 2023 while still employed as a New York state prosecutor.
Ironically, it was an allegation of falsifying business records that James used in her witch hunt against Trump.
“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,” the letter said, The Post reported.
“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,” it said.
The letter said that the New York attorney general purchased a five-family home in Brooklyn in February 2001 but has “consistently misrepresented the same property as only having four units in both building permit applications and numerous mortgage documents and applications.”
Pulte also shared documents that showed James purchased another home with her father as a co-signer but said they were “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,” he said.
In another bit of irony the attorney general appeared to say that the Trump administration is engaged in a political witch hunt against her.
“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,” a spokesman for her office said.
