"We're still getting the details, but if it's related to this mortgage issue, I mean this is something that everyone in America, or many people at least, if you're lucky enough to be able to buy a house in America, you deal with this, right? The federal government doesn't go after all of these people for doing this. Does that play a role here? I mean, how often has there been a federal indictment for a bank fraud type of situation like the one we see here?"
"Wrong, Kasie. Not everyone who buys a house commits mortgage fraud!"
"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."
CNN anchor Kasie Hunt defended New York Attorney General Letitia James after an indictment on charges related to mortgage fraud. Hunt said many Americans who buy homes encounter similar mortgage issues and questioned why the federal government does not pursue all such cases, asking how often federal indictments occur in comparable bank-fraud situations. Hunt's remarks drew social-media criticism, including a tweet from Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz calling her the "dumbest news anchor" and asserting not all homebuyers commit mortgage fraud. Letitia James accused President Donald Trump of political retribution and of weaponizing federal law enforcement in response to her work as state attorney general.
