ProPublica found Trump secured two Florida mortgages claiming both as primary residences while renting them out, mirroring fraud accusations his administration made against political rivals.
- Years ago, President Donald Trump took out two Palm Beach mortgages for $525,000 and $1,200,000 from Merrill Lynch, attesting each was his principal residence while listing Trump Tower as his address.

- The report echoes cases against Letitia James and Lisa Cook; Bill Pulte said such cases could face criminal referrals, Kathleen Engel urged Trump to act, while the White House defended him.
