AG Letitia James hit with bar complaint after having mortgage fraud charges thrown out

WASHINGTON — New York Attorney General Letitia James was hit with a bar complaint from a right-leaning group on Friday, days after having her federal mortgage fraud charges tossed by a judge in a temporary procedural win.

The Center to Advance Security in America submitted a request with the Manhattan and Bronx-focused Attorney Grievance Committee for the state to investigate James’ potentially “illegal and dishonest conduct” leading to the criminal charges.

“Fraud, misrepresentation, honesty and trustworthiness are all factors that the Rules of Professional Conduct expressly factor when weighing whether to discipline an attorney,” wrote Curtis Schube, the group’s director of research and policy, in the four-page complaint.

“The Committee, therefore, should immediately investigate the allegations against James and, if by ‘preponderance of the evidence’ the allegations are substantiated, she should be disciplined accordingly.”

Senior US District Judge Cameron Currie on Monday dismissed the federal charges of bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution brought against James brought in the Eastern District of Virginia.

Currie ordered that Lindsey Halligan, who is serving as a special attorney in US attorney’s office for that district, “had no lawful authority” to secure the two-count indictment since she had not been confirmed by Congress or an appropriate judicial panel.

Former President Bill Clinton had appointed Currie to the federal bench in 1994 and she was confirmed the same year.

“I am heartened by today’s victory and grateful for the prayers and support I have received from around the country,” James said in a statement Monday, the day the charges were tossed. “I remain fearless in the face of these baseless charges as I continue fighting for New Yorkers every single day.”’
