Referral comes from U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency, complete with supporting evidence.
The federal government's main housing loan agency has referred New York Attorney General Letitia James, a longtime nemesis of President Donald Trump, to the U.S. Justice Department for possible prosecution over alleged mortgage fraud, according to a letter obtained by Just the News.
William J. Pulte, the director of the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), made the referral Monday to Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy Todd Blanche, and attached evidence he said corroborated earlier media reports alleging irregularities in a series of loans James obtained, including for a property in Virginia.
"In the course of exercising U.S. Federal Housing’s authority under the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, U.S. Federal Housing has identified matters that are appropriate for referral to the U.S. Department of Justice for consideration of criminal prosecution," Pulte wrote.
"Based on media reports, Ms. Letitia James has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government-backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms," the letter added. "This has potentially included 1) falsifying residence status for a Norfolk, Virginia-based home in order to secure a lower mortgage rate and 2) misrepresenting property descriptions to meet stringent requirements for government backed loans and government assistance."

Letitia is learning the principle of what comes around, goes around.
Those who live in glass houses should not should cast a bullshit indictments on Presidential Candidates.
Especially if you’re declaring that glass house as your principal residence and borrowing Federally guaranteed loans for it.
It is to laugh.
Some conservatives have criticized Attorney General Bondi for being slow and unresponsive.
This Letitia James thing is a great test case. The guilt is obvious. But the accused is also a member of a whiny protected class.
If Bondi moves swiftly and decisively, that will tell us one thing. But if Bondi just mucks around for a year or more, that will tell us something else.
Peekaboo James is a full-fledged ghettopotumus; a rare and protected species. There’s not much confidence ithat it will actually be captured and held in captivity.
What comes around, goes around, and what goes around comes around.
Paybacks are ghettopotamus!
If you look at the facts in this case she is basically being accused of what she indicted Trump for and there is a legit case of fraud to be made as making over 125,000 dollars and claiming economic hardship probably isn’t a good idea
With a little digging, the DoJ will find a lot of laws that she broke. And I bet that she got really sweetheart deals for the property that she bought from the cartels. That is their MO.
Screams of political retribution, racism, and/or sexism incoming from the left as soon as they can find a camera to scream it into. Just wait.
This one’s really funny.
She committed fraud by lying about her residency to get favorable mortgage terms in virginia, or she committed fraud by lying about her residency to get on the ballot in new york.
They’ve got her coming and going.
I doubt she’ll look any better in an orange jumpsuit.
But better get used to it.

Letitia James getting taken down with mortgage fraud of all things is so sweet, it could induce diabetes.

It also looks like venue in any possible criminal action could be in Virginia, thus giving a Virginia rather than a NY jury.
Wonder if she was cheating on her STAR exemption...
