My guess would be via the Cohen raid.

not so much a leak according to the original Guardian article., as dumpster diving in county courthouses.

“Thousands of pages of public records” mixed with a few socialist European reporters, with little practical knowledge of wealth-building, or HUD loans for that matter, looking for trash on a man who pulls in $35MM a year, plus perks:

Boiled down, he’s a smart investor. And not one single thing illegal about how he spends his own earnings, or how the purchases were made.

1. Dozens of the properties were bought at a discount in 2013, after banks foreclosed on their previous owners for defaulting on mortgages.
2. Developments... in the cities of Perry and Brunswick... have higher poverty rates and lower median incomes than the US averages. One- and two-bedroom units in {the} apartment complexes are available to rent for $735 to $1,065 per month, according to brochures.
3. {some} loans {were} under a program created as part of the National Housing Act.
4. The list of properties bought by the Hannity-linked companies includes... single-family units priced as low as $50,000 in relatively poor suburbs. In at least two cases, batches of homes were bought simultaneously at a discount, after they were repossessed by banks from their previous owners in foreclosure.
