New York attorney general Letitia James is clearly feeling the heat.
James is under federal investigation for alleged mortgage fraud, with a grand jury convened in Virginia to examine whether she falsified legal documents to secure favorable loan terms.
The probe centers on a 2023 power-of-attorney document in which James declared a Norfolk, Virginia property as her “principal residence,” despite serving as New York’s top law enforcement official and residing in Brooklyn at the time.
James is also accused of misrepresenting the unit count of her Brooklyn brownstone, listing it as a four-unit property to qualify for better mortgage rates, even though city records indicate it has five units.
Compounding the allegations, a decades-old mortgage application reportedly listed James and her father as husband and wife, raising further questions about her credibility.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday at the Association For a Better New York, James alleged she was the victim of President Trump’s “retribution” against her and that her only mistake was filling out forms incorrectly.
She explained:
As you know, we filed a lawsuit against Donald, the former, Donald Trump, and his family. We secured a $454 million judgment against him, which is on appeal. The case is on appeal. I have no idea when that case will be decided. This investigation into me is nothing more than retribution.
😊
You’re an ATTORNEY, and you “mistakenly” filled out the forms incorrectly? Just proves the saying anyone that represents themselves, has a fool for as client…..LOL
Liar – fired AND to jail you go and rot. Maybe 3 hots and cot will get u healthy.
Nothing will happen to her. She is a Democrat and Democrats don’t get prosecuted. Just like the Democrat judge who helped a convict escape out of her back room door. Someone make a list of those Democrats who have been prosecuted for any wrongdoings.
She prosecuted a President of the United States because she valued his property less than the bank did for a loan he paid back in which nobody was unhappy about and now she wants leniency
