FBI Investigates New York Attorney General over Alleged Mortgage Fraud
- On May 19, 2025, the FBI launched an investigation into allegations of mortgage fraud related to real estate dealings involving Letitia James, the attorney general of New York.
- The investigation was initiated following a referral to the Justice Department from Bill Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Authority, who accused James of providing false information on mortgage documents and property records.
- James, who has a lengthy political conflict with President Trump, plans to use private and state legal funds to cover defense costs amid subpoenas issued by a Virginia grand jury.
- James' lawyer Abbe Lowell described the allegations as "threadbare" and "insignificant mistakes," asserting the investigation reflects baseless claims and political retaliation by Trump.
- The investigation could mark the first criminal prosecution facing an official who previously investigated Trump, highlighting continued legal and political tensions between them.
