NY AG Letitia James indicted over mortgage fraud claims: source
2025-10-10
[NY Post] Corrupt Bitch finds Karma
New York state Attorney General Letitia James was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in Virginia on charges of bank fraud and making false claims to a financial institution that netted her nearly $19,000 in savings on a loan for a second home, according to the Department of Justice.

The indictment was handed up in the Eastern District of Virginia, where former FBI Director James Comey was indicted Sept. 25 on charges of lying to Congress and obstruction of justice

“No one is above the law. The charges as alleged in this case represent intentional, criminal acts and tremendous breaches of the public’s trust,” US Attorney Lindsey Halligan said in a statement. “The facts and the law in this case are clear, and we will continue following them to ensure that justice is served.”

James responded in a statement: “This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. He is forcing federal law enforcement agencies to do his bidding, all because I did my job as the New York State Attorney General.”

“These charges are baseless, and the president’s own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost,” she added. “The president’s actions are a grave violation of our Constitutional order and have drawn sharp criticism from members of both parties.”

If convicted on both counts, James faces up to 60 years in prison and a fine of up to $2 million.
A happy thought…
James, 66, bought the three-bedroom, one-bathroom Norfolk, Va., home in August 2020 for roughly $137,000, most of which was financed with a $109,600 loan that prohibited it from being used as a rental investment property, prosecutors alleged.

That allowed her “to obtain favorable loan terms not available for investment properties,” they noted in the five-page filing, saving her “approximately $18,933 over the life of the loan.”

When a Post reporter visited the Norfolk home in April, neighbors said they had never seen James at the property.

Meanwhile, her income tax forms designated the home as a rental that brought in thousands of dollars in additional income.

Norfolk property records reviewed earlier this year by The Post show James granted power of attorney to her niece, Shamice Thompson-Hairston, on Aug. 17, 2023, authorizing the purchase of the Virginia property — for which they secured a $219,780 mortgage.
