“The FBI has opened a criminal investigation into mortgage fraud allegations against New York Attorney General Letitia James, who President Donald Trump has publicly targeted because she pursued legal action against him. James has joined attorneys general from other states in challenging Trump’s second-term agenda. After Trump’s first term in office, she brought a civil fraud lawsuit against him that resulted in millions of dollars of penalties. Trump has called for the prosecution of James and New York State Justice Arthur Engoron, the judge who oversaw that case. Last month, Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte, a Trump appointee, sent a letter to the U.S. Justice Department alleging James ‘falsified records’ to obtain favorable loans on a home she purchased in 2023 in Virginia and Brooklyn, the New York Post reported.” (05/08/25)
