New York Attorney General Letitia James has been referred for federal criminal prosecution, CBS New York reports. This is in connection to allegations that she falsified her residence status to a home in Norfolk.
NY AG James accused of mortgage fraud related to Norfolk home: CBSThe Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) William Pulte accused James of falsifying "bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms," according to a letter written to U.S. Attorney General Pam Pondi and obtained by CBS New York. Pulte went on to say that James was not allowed to declare the Norfolk property as her primary home, writing, "[she] is required by law to have her primary residence in the state of New York."
In response to the allegations, a spokesperson for the attorney general's office told CBS New York that "Attorney General James is focused every single day on protecting New Yorkers, especially as this Administration weaponizes the federal government against the rule of law and the Constitution. She will not be intimidated by bullies — no matter who they are." In 2022, James garnered national attention when she successfully convinced a judge to deem President Donald Trump liable for artificially inflating his net worth to get better loan rates, among other things.
Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen attempted to visit the mistakenly deported Maryland man — the government of El Salvador denied him access to his constituent. This happens as the Trump administration refuses to follow court orders to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia — they believe he is an MS-13 gang member.
White House addresses case of Kilmar Abrego GarciaPolice say Abrego Garcia, who was deported without due process, was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat at the time of his arrest, which allegedly symbolizes a "member in good standing" with MS-13. Authorities claim Abrego Garcia was also wearing a hoodie that symbolized what they describe as being "indicative" of Hispanic gang culture. This information was revealed by Attorney General Pam Bondi, as she shared Abrego Garcia's arrest records to social media Wednesday.
On Tuesday, a federal judge ruled for White House officials to be deposed regarding this case — their sworn affidavits are due on April 23. On Wednesday, another federal judge said he found "probable cause" to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for disobeying court orders to halt deportation flights.
