FBI probes New York AG James over mortgage fraud allegations

  • In 2023, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Albany initiated a criminal probe concerning mortgage fraud allegations linked to real estate transactions involving Attorney General Letitia James of New York.
  • The probe followed a letter from FHFA Director William Pulte accusing James of falsifying documents to secure favorable loans for properties in Virginia and Brooklyn.
  • James, who has led major legal actions against Donald Trump including a fraud case resulting in penalties, denies all allegations and calls the claims baseless political attacks.
  • Her lawyer Abbe Lowell described the investigation as “baseless” and accused Trump of hypocrisy for politicizing the Justice Department while pushing the probe against James.
  • The investigation reflects ongoing tensions between James and Trump, with implications for political retaliation claims and active scrutiny of both figures’ financial dealings.
