DOJ indicts Letitia James in mortgage fraud probe
Trump pursued case over $2M property portfolio
A federal grand jury has indicted New York State Attorney General Letitia James on mortgage fraud allegations, as President Donald Trump’s administration has escalated its pursuit of a political adversary.
James was indicted on charges of bank fraud late Thursday, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal. The case was presented by Lindsey Halligan, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia who previously served as Trump’s personal lawyer.
The Justice Department subpoenaed James in August for both her handling of the civil fraud case that delivered $360 million in penalties against the president and his real estate firm, and her personal real estate transactions.
James’ lawyer in August called the investigation “the most blatant and desperate example of this administration carrying out the president’s political retribution campaign,” the New York Times reported.
The allegations against James include:
- Marking on a mortgage application that a house she and her niece bought in Virginia would be a primary residence
- James listed as her father’s wife on documents for a 1983 purchase of a Queens house
- Misrepresenting the number of units at a row house in Fort Greene, Brooklyn
- Falsifying documents to secure better mortgage terms.
