Letitia James referred for possible prosecution for alleged mortgage fraud

| April 16, 2025 | 43 Comments

Letitia James, New York Attorney General, was subject to a federal criminal referral over allegations of mortgage fraud. James reportedly falsified records to obtain home loans for a property she claimed was her “principal residence”. This was a property in Norfolk, VA. James did not stop there. She apparently purchased another property in Brooklyn. James misrepresented that property on mortgage documents. This is the same Letitia James who targeted then candidate Donald Trump for “over inflating” his property values. James did say that nobody was above the law.

From New York Post:

“Ms. James was the sitting Attorney General of New York and is required by law to have her primary residence in the state of New York — even though her mortgage applications list her intent to have the Norfolk, VA, property as her primary home,” the letter stated.

“It appears Ms. James’ property and mortgage-related misrepresentations may have continued to her recent 2023 Norfolk, VA property purchase in order to secure a lower interest rate and more favorable loan terms.”

In February 2001, James also purchased a five-family dwelling in Brooklyn — but has “consistently misrepresented the same property as only having four units in both building permit applications and numerous mortgage documents and applications,” the letter noted.

Pulte attached several documents also showing that James purchased another property with her father as a co-signer — but falsely listed the pair as “husband and wife” in 1983 and 2000.

“While this was a long time ago, it raises serious concerns about the validity of Ms. James’ representations on mortgage applications,” he wrote.

“Attorney General James is focused every single day on protecting New Yorkers, especially as this Administration weaponizes the federal government against the rule of law and the Constitution. She will not be intimidated by bullies — no matter who they are,” a spokesman for her office said in a statement.

The letter referenced earlier media reports about James purportedly falsifying her residence status to get a lower mortgage rate in Virginia and misrepresenting her five-unit residence in Brooklyn, which were first reported by the outlet White Collar Fraud.

James granted power of attorney to Shamice Thompson-Hairston, a relative, to sign an Aug. 17, 2023, document authorizing the purchase of the first property, according to legal filings reported by the outlet.

She secured a $218,780 mortgage to do so.

Loans secured for the latter property could have reduced her mortgage interest rate by as much as 1% and had lower monthly payments under the federal Home Affordable Modification Program since it was listed as containing just four units, according to Pulte.

AWWWW, poor widdwe Letitia James, bless her heart.
HEY, has she thrown her ACME® race Victim Card™ yet?

“….bless her heart.”
Did you just say “F**k you” in Southern?

Nope. Bless his/her little heart is code for “stupid fucking dipshit oxygen thief, gonna get what is coming to them”

Release the hounds on her…
She made a bullshit case for valuation of MAL while keeping the bank that made the deal from testifying and changed the laws to do so because no other New Yorker has been charged with the same statute before or since. Same with Stormy Daniels bullshit case. They changed the law and no other New Yorker has been charged with the same statute before or since. Even though the Clinton campaign received a fine for hiding their payments to Steele in the Russia-gate Hoax, she still plowed ahead. How does a DA/AG afford multiple properties in multiple states with around a $200K salary? That needs some looking into as well. She poked the bear, so she gets all that attention and more.

Forest Bondurant

Yep. You can bet Leticia has been involved in some other criminal schemes. They just haven’t been exposed to daylight yet.

Marilyn Mosby, the former Baltimore State Attorney was convicted of mortgage fraud (and a slew of other offenses) as well.

Unfortunately, the court has allowed her to retain her law license until the outcome of her 2 federal conviction appeals.

She will get a black judge and play the race card and won’t be charged

Is IRS looking into her ‘Return’ ?

Wow.

Who among us hasn’t made a career of politically-motivated prosecutions while consistently managing to skirt personal and professional improprieties?

If by “impropriety” you mean committing felonies then it’s going to be a solid no for me.

Forget it, Trump. It’s Democrattwon.

Of course the huge irony here was that Jack’s sister WAS his mother. It must have been tough to play that scene.

Hack Stone

He can’t handle the truth!

Looks like Jack was recycling dialogue.

Life’s a bitch, it’s stripper name is Kharma, she never loses an address and she will always have her way. Race card played in 3… 2…

Even my cynical ass has to slow clap at the weapons-grade irony of Leticia James being investigated for misrepresenting property values in order to obtain financial gain.

Who was it that said “Whatever they accuse you of, they are doing”?

My shocked look…👀

Surprise, surprise….

The irony is just delicious, isn’t it?

Hack Stone

More irony, please.

Grunt

I read that in the Ovaltine kid voice

Hack Stone

You have to get your recommended levels or vitamins and irony.

Like I said, at least a dozen clues.

I have read the power of attorney document she signed in connection with the purchase of the house in Virginia. It is notarized in New York and it contains her notarized signature. It states she is going to live in the house as her “primary residence.” That is an FHA requirement for the mortgage she obtained to purchase that house. That false statement is prima facie mortgage fraud and/or federal wire or mail fraud when the document was sent by mail or email. The schadenfreude and irony is sweet.

Forest Bondurant

She must’ve been absent from class that day when that topic was taught in law school.

5JC

Or election fraud. Take your pick

Jimbojszz

I say it’s election fraud, she was married to her father (That’s nasty to think she was screwing her father). And she was living in Virginia claiming to be a resident in New York. Then became the New York DA under false pretense. Also she lied on loan forms to receive favorable loan terms. Claiming she was a New York Resident. I think all her cases she handled/Prosecuted need to be thrown out. And she needs to be disbarred and never hold a law license again.

Thunderstixx

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!

Devtun

Recent former New York AGs who have stepped in it.
-Eliot Spitzer
-Andrew Cuomo
-Eric Schneiderman

Jimbojszz

So she claimed in writing she was a resident of Virginia. To be the DA for New York you have to be a resident. Which she is not as she attested too. Election fraud.

At least Stacey Abrams is a model for ethical behavior and fiscal responsibility.

Big Stacey has away of attracting money in nefarious ways. Helping herself along the way to be rich like Nancy Pelosi. Possibly by using the same methods of enrichment. It’s the democrap way… embezzlement.
