BBC reports on Letitia James mortgage fraud
Trump administration seeks criminal prosecution of New York attorney general
Donald Trump's administration is accusing New York Attorney General Letitia James of mortgage fraud, and has made a criminal referral to the the justice department seeking federal prosecution.
Officials with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) allege James falsified bank and property records to receive better loan agreements, an administration official told the BBC.
James won a civil case against Trump in 2023 that accused him of overvaluing his properties in order to take out loans with favourable terms. He is currently appealing against the judgment.
No charges have been filed against James. Her office has accused the Trump administration of weaponizing the US government.
