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.”

This is so sweet!
Phil Spector couldn't wear his.
She’ll see how her pretty face is going to hell and her narcissism will work against her.
If not Hochul, who IS stalling Trump’s appeal of Tish James’ civil-fraud case?
Damn? That’s a lot of orange????
Every time the James story is mentioned, they should include, “No one is above the law.”
Tishy....you had a very corrupt judge and TOTALLY STUPID jury! They didn’t even know what CRIME they were supposed to make a judgment!!
But being a BLACK FEMALE DEMOCRAT, Possible LESBIAN, and TRUMP HATER, makes ALL THOSE FELONIES FADE TO NOTHING!
Interesting that isn’t what the loan documents show...she is clearly guilty of fraud to both the bank and to New York.
She’s going to prison.
If my memory serves me correctly, Hochul gave a presser that NY was only going to hose Trump and other developers had nothing to worry about. If appellate court has any integrity they will throw the case out.
Boy if I was the US Attorney and read this denial of FACTS in the Public Record, I would SWAT raid her home and arrest her this morning.
I say, leave her residence as Virginia and by that her position in NY is not legal. Therefore her “prosecution” of the President is null and void.
Yes, everyone names their father as their husband on mortgage apps. 😆
This woman’s psychologically hysterical screeching rant she gave in response to the charges was as off the wall as anything I’ve ever seen. It went miles beyond ‘ protesting too much’.
