Trump's Administration Pursues Criminal Charges Against NY Attorney General Letitia James

The Trump administration has initiated a criminal referral against New York AG Letitia James, alleging mortgage fraud.


The Trump administration has launched serious accusations against New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleging that she committed mortgage fraud to secure more favorable loan terms. This follows a civil lawsuit where James previously succeeded against Trump, charging him with inflating property valuations. Currently, no formal charges have been lodged, but the Federal Housing Finance Agency has made a criminal referral to the Justice Department for an investigation.

Trump's officials claim that James misrepresented her property in New York to secure advantageous mortgage deals, a situation that comes on the heels of her civil victory over Trump earlier this year. An official from the FHFA asserted that James provided false information about property size and residency, acting illegally in her role as the state’s top prosecutor. James's office has publicly denounced the allegations as a politically motivated attack, defending her commitment to protecting New Yorkers.

Trump's ongoing legal battles have highlighted a contentious relationship with James and his claims of systemic bias. In addition to her accusations, Trump has faced legal troubles of his own, having been criminally convicted earlier for business record manipulation linked to hush-money payments. Amidst all the strife, Trump has often used social media to disparage James, suggesting her resignation and asserting that she embodies corruption within the political arena. As the legal skirmish continues to unfold, both parties brace for what could be a protracted battle in the courtroom.

While James stands firm in her role, the White House has reiterated that no charges are presently filed against her, promising transparency as the situation develops. The echo of political retribution lingers, as Trump remains determined to challenge those he perceives as adversaries, reflecting a tense and polarizing moment in American politics.
