Justice Department launches investigation into N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James

  • In 2025, federal prosecutors initiated a criminal investigation concerning real estate dealings involving Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York, focusing on transactions in Virginia and New York.
  • The investigation follows a criminal referral sent in April 2025 by William J. Pulte, Trump’s appointee at the Federal Housing Finance Agency, alleging James falsified documents to secure favorable mortgage terms.
  • James is accused of misrepresenting her Brooklyn brownstone as having four units instead of five and attesting in 2023 that a Norfolk home was her primary residence to obtain government-backed loans.
  • James’ lawyer Abbe Lowell refuted these claims as "baseless" and "long disproven," arguing Pulte cherry-picked a two-page mistaken document amidst hundreds of accurate records.
  • The probe marks a significant escalation against James, who secured a $454 million judgment in a 2024 civil fraud case against Donald Trump and now faces allegations mirroring those she prosecuted.
