Letitia James under scrutiny for mortgage fraud allegations.

In a shocking twist of events, New York Attorney General Letitia James has found herself embroiled in a mortgage fraud scandal. On Wednesday morning, she dodged pressing questions after FHFA Director Bill Pulte referred her to the DOJ, increasing the heat on her case.

On Tuesday night, the Trump Administration took a bold step by referring Letitia James to the Department of Justice over serious accusations of mortgage fraud. This follows exclusive reports that have been surfacing about James’ alleged fraudulent activities.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency has pointedly accused James of falsifying records for a property in New York. By misrepresenting a 5-unit property as only four, she allegedly secured a more favorable loan.

Reports have surfaced detailing James’ 2001 purchase of a Brooklyn property, where for over two decades she is said to have misrepresented the unit count on mortgage applications, despite official records confirming it was a five-unit building.

This misrepresentation allowed Letitia James to land favorable loans, including a 2011 HAMP loan, saving her substantial money each year.

Allegedly, James also falsely identified her Virginia property as her ‘primary residence’ to gain benefits, despite not residing there, according to Bill Pulte, the FHFA Director.

In a bizarre scene on Wednesday, Letitia James avoided reporters by pretending to be on the phone, sidestepping questions about her growing scandal.

Recently, Letitia James launched into a furious tirade against President Trump at the National Action Network 2025 Convention. During the State Attorneys General panel, she vehemently declared her readiness to confront Trump, saying, “we’re ready for you!”

“I’m not afraid of no president! Donald Trump, we’re ready for you! We’re coming for you! We’re standing up for you! We’re fighting on! We’re not going down silent!” James shouted passionately.

WATCH:

It’s a dramatic transformation for Letitia James, who once spoke with confidence but now appears to be retreating as the scrutiny intensifies.
