Letitia James Faces DOJ Referral for Mortgage Fraud

News summary

New York Attorney General Letitia James faces a federal criminal referral by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to the Department of Justice for alleged mortgage fraud. The referral claims that, in 2023, James misrepresented a Virginia property as her primary residence—despite New York residency requirements—and misstated the number of units in a Brooklyn property to obtain favorable loans. Additional allegations involve listing her father as her husband on mortgage documents. James has denied any wrongdoing and accused the Trump administration of weaponizing the process for political reasons. As of now, no criminal charges have been filed, and the DOJ has not commented. Former President Trump and his allies have called for James's resignation in response to the allegations.
