FBI Launches OFFICIAL Probe Into Letitia James Over Mortgage Fraud Allegations | JP

The FBI has just launched a formal criminal investigation into the mortgage fraud allegations against NY Attorney General Letitia James.

In March, accusations surfaced that Letitia James made false statements on federal documents in order to get favorable loan terms.

Last month, Letitia James was referred to the DOJ over these claims.

Rep. Elise Stefanik, who represents the district that launched the probe, released a statement:

I commend the FBI and the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York for investigating New York Attorney General Letitia James over mortgage fraud. Nobody is above the law. These serious allegations—falsifying records to secure favorable loan terms on properties in Virginia and New York—threaten public trust in our institutions. The hypocrisy is staggering: Tish James allegedly committed the same crime that she falsely and illegally prosecuted President Donald Trump for.

For years, I’ve led the charge against Tish James’ political weaponization and abuse of her office to target Trump and other political opponents illegally. In February 2024, I filed a bar complaint with the New York State Committee on Professional Standards, detailing how she violated ethical rules during her biased investigation and prosecution of Trump, including over 50 prejudicial social media posts in just the first five weeks of his civil fraud trial. Her weaponized lawfare campaign, which began the moment she announced her candidacy for Attorney General, undermined the impartiality expected of New York’s top prosecutor.

Tish James’ actions embody the corruption among NY elected Democrats led by Kathy Hochul. I recently exposed how Governor Kathy Hochul and Albany Democrats secretly inserted language into the state budget to cover James’ legal expenses with taxpayer money. This abuse of power is an insult to New Yorkers already struggling with high taxes.

The investigation into Letitia James is a vital step toward justice. I will continue to fight to expose NY corruption, protect constitutional rights, and hold these failed Democrat leaders in NY accountable.

The New York Post has more details on the investigation:

The investigation, first reported by the Albany Times Union, follows a request that the Justice Department investigate James, sent by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte to the Justice Department last month.

New York’s Northern District, where Pulte’s referral was steered, is led by US Attorney John Sarcone III, an ally of President Trump…

Pulte’s letter alleged James “falsified records” to obtain favorable loans on a home she purchased in 2023 in Virginia and a Brooklyn brownstone she’s owned since 2001.

The Democrat also allegedly indicated the Virginia home would be her “principal residence” while acting as New York’s top cop, and that she misrepresented the number of units in her Brooklyn residence.

“Ms. James, for both properties listed above, appears to have falsified records in order to meet certain lending requirements and receive favorable loan terms,” Pulte told Attorney General Pam Bondi.

That could amount to criminal charges, including wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud and false statements to a financial institution, among others, Pulte added.

Nobody is above the law…

I, for one, can’t wait to see Letitia James brought to justice.

How about you?
