"Pulte alleges that James misrepresented the use of two properties to insurers, including Universal Property Insurance in Florida and Allstate Insurance Company in Illinois. He claims she indicated the house would be occupied by a single adult, with no children, while it was actually occupied by four people."
"In the Florida referral, Pulte alleged that James indicated the property would be occupied for five months of the year, when it was in fact occupied year-round by her niece."
"The DOJ began a criminal investigation in May 2025 related to James's alleged mortgage fraud, which followed a criminal referral by Pulte in April. However, a federal judge dismissed the criminal case in November."
"Abbe D. Lowell, counsel for James, pushed back strongly in a statement, expressing frustration over repeated failures where judges and grand juries have rejected attempts to charge Attorney General James."
FHFA Director Bill Pulte has filed criminal referrals with the DOJ against New York Attorney General Letitia James, alleging she misrepresented property occupancy details to insurers in Florida and Illinois. Pulte claims James falsely stated that a property would be occupied by a single adult, while it was actually occupied by four individuals, including three children. Additionally, he alleges she misrepresented the duration of occupancy. Previous criminal investigations into James's alleged mortgage fraud were dismissed due to legal technicalities regarding the prosecutor's appointment.
