"Last week, James - a longtime foe of Trump's - was charged with bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution stemming from a house she bought in Norfolk, Virginia, for $137,000 in 2020. Federal prosecutors say the mortgage James obtained for the purchase required the house to be primarily for her personal use for one year. They say James broke that rule by renting the house out to a family of three."
""See you tonight, New York! Thanks for always having my back - now, let's get out and win this election with @ZohranKMamdani," James , just hours before the rally at the United Palace theater in the Washington Heights neighborhood of upper Manhattan. The event is meant to kick off the final stretch of Mamdani's campaign ahead of the Nov. 4 election."
New York Attorney General Letitia James will speak at a rally for mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani at the United Palace theater in Washington Heights. The appearance will be her first public event since she was indicted on federal fraud charges tied to a 2020 Virginia home purchase. Prosecutors allege the mortgage required primary personal use for one year and that James violated that condition by renting the house to a family of three. James dismissed the charges as "baseless" and called the indictment "nothing more than a continuation of the president's desperate weaponization of our justice system." Mamdani denounced the indictment as political retribution and is using the event to energize his Nov. 4 campaign.
