Grand Jury Indicts NY AG Letitia James On Criminal Bank Fraud, CNN Reports

US Attorney Lindsey Halligan presented the case to the grand jury on Thursday, according to sources, one month after she was installed in her role.

As noted in August, a criminal referral was filed against James, alleging that she had "falsified records" to get home loans for a Virginia property that she claimed was her "principal residence" in 2023 - while she was serving as a New York state prosecutor.

Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte sent the missive to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche, claiming that in late August 2023 - weeks before she launched her civil fraud trial against the Trump Organization for inflating the values of its properties.

In 2021, James also purchased a 5-family Brooklyn property, but has "consistently misrepresented the same property as only having four units in both building permit applications and numerous mortgage documents and applications," the letter noted.

Loans secured for this property could have reduced her mortgage interest rate by as much as 1% - leaving James with lower monthly payments under the federal Home Assistance Modification Program (HAMP) since it was listed as containing just four units, according to Pulte.

European Parliament has voted in favor of banning words like “burger”, “schnitzel”, and “sausage” to market their plant-based “veggie” counterparts.

Can a veggie schnitzel legally be called a schnitzel even if it contains no meat? Some have argued such names are confusing consumers. The European Parliament seems to agree.The European Parliament has voted in favor of banning words like “burger” and “sausage” to market their plant-based counterparts.

The decision comes on the back of a proposal from members of the center-right European People’s Party (EPP).

“A steak is made of meat — full stop. Using these names only for real meat keeps labels honest, protects farmers, and preserves Europe’s culinary traditions,” said lead negotiator and EPP member of parliament Celine Imart ahead of Wednesday’s vote. “Calling it ‘meat’ is misleading for the consumer,” she added.

But there was disagreement within the EPP, with some members voting against it. “We shouldn’t take consumers for fools. If a package says ‘veggie burger’ or ‘veggie sausage,’ everyone can decide for themselves whether they want to buy it or not. I believe and hope that the discussion will come to nothing,” said EPP member Peter Liese.
