Trump Administration Refers NY Attorney General Letitia James for DOJ Investigation
- The Justice Department received a criminal referral letter on May 7, 2025, concerning New York Attorney General Letitia James and alleged mortgage fraud involving properties in Virginia and New York.
- A criminal referral sent by the head of the federal housing agency, as reported by US media on May 7, prompted an investigation into allegations that James manipulated bank documents to gain more favorable loan conditions.
- The letter claims James altered records for homes bought in 1983, 2000, and a 2023 Virginia property listed as her primary residence, though her office says the latest property belongs mainly to her niece.
- US Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed DOJ's review of the letter saying, "of course we’ll be reviewing it," while Governor Kathy Hochul defended James, citing a need to show intentional fraud, not mistakes.
- The referral highlights the ongoing legal conflict between Trump and James, who led a civil fraud case against Trump resulting in a $454 million penalty, and signals potential further federal scrutiny amid political tensions.
