This week, a Virginia Grand Jury indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud. Evidence included her signature on a mortgage loan document that asserted the property to be financed was to be her primary residence. The Jury found that the fact that James lives and works in New York and that the Virginia house could not possibly have been her primary residence sufficient for her to be put on trial for fraud.
James denounced the indictment calling it "unfair political retribution directed at me by Trump. True, I did prosecute and convict Trump for mortgage fraud, but that was the fulfillment of a campaign promise I made to voters in 2018 and, thus, a legitimate exercise of a democratic mandate. Trump had no similar mandate. I wasn't even mentioned in his 2024 campaign. No one voted for my prosecution."
"Further, Trump is a billionaire," she pointed out. "He is experienced in mortgage lending and can afford the best lawyers. Yet I, a young working girl, was able to get a jury to convict him and impose a $500 million penalty even though he paid back the loans and no one lost a penny in the transactions he made with the big banks that lent him the money."
"In contrast, the loans I am being prosecuted for were for much smaller amounts," James added. "Technically, I did get a lower interest rate by fudging my place of residence, but this little scam, as CNN anchor Kasie Hunt pointed out, 'is something that everyone who buys a house in America does, but doesn't get prosecuted for.' The amount of illicit income I gained from renting out this property was tiny in comparison to Trump's billions in annual income. I think the chances of a jury from a blue area of Virginia finding me guilty are slim. So, not only is my being singled out unjust, it is waste of taxpayers' money."
CNN's Anderson Cooper wasn't so sure that James would get off easy, saying "only a small minority of folks buy properties to rent out for income. Even fewer falsely claim these properties as their residences. The reason why interest rates are lower for primary residences is because the government wants to help people become home owners. Letitia's abuse of this policy may not be viewed as favorably by a jury pool that hasn't also abused this benefit. A year and a half ago, she asserted 'everyday Americans cannot lie to a bank to get a mortgage, and if they did, our government would throw the book at them. There simply cannot be different rules for different people.' If a jury in Letitia's trial is reminded she said this they may very well convict her. As the top attorney in the New York government she simply cannot plead ignorance of the law to excuse what she has done."
