While she witch-hunted President Trump with civil fraud charges in the past, Trump’s Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) claimed that New York Attorney General Letitia James is now involved in mortgage fraud.
See the tweet below.
The FHFA has referred James to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for mortgage fraud involving falsified records to obtain favorable loans and misrepresenting her primary residence in violation of New York law.
The criminal referral, issued by FHFA Director William Pulte, contains damning evidence that James falsified records on multiple properties.
According to documents obtained by federal investigators, James misrepresented a Virginia property as her principal residence despite New York law requiring the state’s Attorney General to live in the city.
She also reportedly classified a New York property incorrectly as a four-unit structure when it actually contained five units.
Perhaps most shocking, James is accused of falsely listing her father as her husband on mortgage applications to file as a married couple.
Property documents from 1983 and 2000 reportedly show James and her father listed as “husband and wife,” a potential federal crime if proven true.
Moreover, the accusations against James carry potentially severe legal consequences, including charges of wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, and making false statements to financial institutions.
The fraudulent activities reportedly occurred in August 2023, just before James’s civil fraud trial against the Trump Organization, resulting in a $454 million judgment against the former president.
In the referral letter to the DOJ, Pulte detailed the alleged fraud: “Ms. James, for both properties listed above, appears to have falsified records in order to meet certain lending requirements and receive favorable loan terms.”
🚨 The Case Against NY Attorney General Letitia James to Date, A Roadmap for Law Enforcement
I've just published an investigative report that consolidates my key findings to date on NY Attorney General Letitia James' financial disclosures – including newly uncovered evidence that… pic.twitter.com/TGNYQVJY96— Sam E. Antar (@SamAntar) April 15, 2025
The evidence against James reportedly first surfaced through documents presented by Sam Antar, which retired NYPD inspector Paul Mauro described as “entirely authentic.”
Adding to the irony of the situation, James has repeatedly claimed that “no one is above the law” throughout her investigations into President Trump. Now, she potentially faces the charges she sought to bring against others.
The criminal referral comes as James’s office continues investigating potential insider trading related to President Trump’s tariff announcements, showing her ongoing political targeting of the Trump administration.
At the same time, Trump has demanded James’s immediate resignation, calling her a “corrupt politician.”
He also has maintained that James’s legal pursuit of him has been politically motivated from the start, a claim that gains credibility as evidence of her own alleged misconduct emerges.
Legal experts, including George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, highlighted the allegations’ serious nature:
“These are misleading statements. Either it’s your principal residence or it’s not. Either you’re married to your father or he’s your father.”
Turley also noted that recent Supreme Court precedent emphasizes the severity of knowingly making false statements to financial institutions.
James’s office has attempted to dismiss the allegations, claiming she “will not be intimidated by bullies.”
However, the documented evidence in the federal referral paints a clear picture of potential criminal conduct by New York’s top law enforcement officer.
