The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), through its Albany office, has launched a criminal investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James over allegations of mortgage fraud, according to multiple reports citing law enforcement sources. The probe stems from claims that James falsified records to secure favorable home loans for properties she purchased in 2023 in Virginia and Brooklyn. The allegations against James were raised by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte, who accused her of misrepresenting a home in Norfolk, Virginia, as her primary residence to obtain more favorable loan terms. Despite these accusations, James has denied any wrongdoing and dismissed the calls for a federal investigation as politically motivated. This investigation follows James's high-profile legal battles with President Donald Trump, including a civil fraud lawsuit against the Trump Organization that resulted in a $454 million judgment against him. James has been a vocal critic of Trump, emphasizing that 'no one is above the law' during her investigations into his administration. At a recent town hall event, James was confronted by a Trump supporter who questioned if she would apologize to Trump for the legal actions against him and how it feels to face potential imprisonment for mortgage fraud. James responded by dismissing the allegations as 'baseless.' James's legal team has argued that the FBI probe is politically motivated, a claim met with skepticism given her history of targeting Trump. The Justice Department has declined to comment on the ongoing investigation.
