New York Attorney General Letitia James is under scrutiny for allegedly falsifying records to secure a favorable mortgage while pursuing a civil fraud case against the Trump Organization. William Pulte, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, claims she misrepresented her residence situation and the details of her Brooklyn property in a criminal referral. This comes at a time when James has publicly denounced the idea of any individual being above the law. Her recent legal actions against Trump contrast sharply with the accusations against her, prompting calls for her to clarify these allegations.
"Memo to state Attorney General Tish James: If you're going to drag a former US president to court for misleading financial institutions, best not be accused of doing the exact same thing yourself."
"Pulte cited other potentially fraudulent James statements - misrepresenting her five-unit Brooklyn property as having just four units and claiming her father was her husband - in his criminal referral to the Justice Department."
"James granted a relative, Shamice Thompson-Hairston, her power of attorney to sign the document authorizing the purchase, White Collar Fraud reported."
"So far, she hasn't commented on these allegations; we look forward to her explaining the 'principal residence' thing."
