NY AG Letitia James calls Trump admin allegations of mortgage fraud ‘baseless’: interview
NY Post ^ | 4/17/25 | Shane Galvin

New York State Attorney General Letitia James is saying the Trump administration’s criminal referral for mortgage fraud is “baseless” but declined to give details, in a new interview.

James appeared on Spectrum NY1’s “Inside City Hall” Thursday, attempting to swat down allegations from the Trump administration that she falsified real estate records in Virginia and New York.

“Let me just say to all New Yorkers and to all Americans: the allegations are baseless. The allegations are nothing more than a revenge tour,” James told NY1 political anchor Errol Louis.

When pressed about the amount of units in her Brooklyn home — referring to the federal allegation that the AG illegally listed the home as having four instead of five units — James played her cards close to the vest.

“As you know, as any good attorney, I will not litigate this case in a camera. It is important that we respond to these allegations at the appropriate time and in an appropriate way,” she said.

“I will not go back and forth with respect to these baseless allegations. I am more focused again on standing up for freedom, liberties, and the rule of law in the state of New York.”

James counted herself amongst law firms, universities, immigrants, women, and federal employees who were all “targeted” by the Trump administration as part of what the attorney general described as a “revenge tour.”

“My office was successful in securing a $450 million judgment against Donald Trump and others for exaggerating the value of his assets,” James said, adding, the interest owed to the state is “growing every day.”

Mortgage fraud is punished by harsh penalties. In New York, if you take more than $1,000 in a mortgage fraud scheme, it makes the offense a felony.

Having the mere appearance of impropriety is going to mess with her mind. Desperate times call for desperate measures...Like never before!

She has 3 problems. First, there’s fraud on the purchases of the houses (this idea of listing her dad as Mr James, suggesting he’s the husband....is bad enough). Second, to rectify this....she has to redo the mortgage paper-work, at current rates. Third, she signed papers to say primary residence was in Virginia....which invalidates her NY status of being a resident there....so she’d have to resign her post as state AG.

But I’ll say this...in her present physical condition (overweight)...she’s likely have extremely high blood pressure, and prone to having a heart-attack.

Lady, that’s all you have done for the last 3 years. Why stop now? Oh yeah, that’s right now it’s your ox getting gored.

the problem is, as clearly shown above, she is getting her say out in the news... the article quotes “All the Wrong doings by Trump”. this convinces the stupid people she is a victim in the mort fraud accusation. which in turn will give her 95% of the stupid people’s support. and we all know what happens when an accused politician has the support of stupid people, hence the reason nothing is ever done to the accused left.

I don't think so. Like Fani Willis, she is a DEI princess. Entitled, self-righteous, unrepentant. A sociopath.
