https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-york-ag-letitia-james-indicted-in-virginia-after-investigation-by-trumps-doj/
A grand jury indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday, according to the clerk of court in the Eastern District of Virginia, marking the second Trump foe to face federal prosecution in recent weeks.
The indictment came exactly two weeks after a grand jury in the same Virginia courthouse voted to indict former FBI Director James Comey on charges of lying to Congress.
Last month, Mr. Trump publicly urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to look into Comey, James and a third longtime Trump antagonist, Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff of California.
James has drawn Mr. Trump's ire for years. Her office sued the president and the Trump Organization for fraud in 2022, leading a judge to issue a nine-figure judgment against the company. Mr. Trump has referred to James as "scum," "corrupt" and "racist."
CBS News has reached out to the Justice Department and James' office for comment.
The charges against James are unclear. In May, CBS News reported that the Justice Department had launched a criminal probe into James around alleged mortgage fraud. Three months later, the Justice Department expanded its investigation into James for her office's handling of its Trump Organization probe.

The mortgage fraud investigation began after William Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, wrote a letter to Bondi alleging that James "has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms."Pulte claimed James received deals on mortgage terms by falsifying information related to multiple properties over the course of decades. The allegations include listing a home in Norfolk, Virginia, as her "principal residence" despite living and working in New York, buying a five-family property in Brooklyn with a loan that is only available for homes with four units or less, and an accusation that in 1983, James' father signed mortgage documents stating they were husband and wife.James has denied the allegations, calling them "baseless."In April, Abbe Lowell — an attorney for James whose firm frequently represents clients that it believes have been unfairly targeted by the Trump administration — sent a letter to the Department of Justice refuting the allegations laid out in Pulte's letter. Lowell called the allegations "long-disproven" and referred to the investigation as "the latest act of improper political retribution — this time directed at Ms. James — publicly instigated and endorsed by President Trump."Lowell said that James had helped her niece buy a house in Norfolk, and a power-of-attorney form had "mistakenly" listed it as the state attorney general's primary residence. But James had made clear that it actually wouldn't be her primary residence in both an email to her mortgage broker and a loan application, according to Lowell."Director Pulte points to a two-page power of attorney that was clearly mistaken and failed to reference Ms. James' clear and repeated accurate statements," Lowell wrote.

DOJ charges another longtime Trump foeMr. Trump has sparred with James since she was elected New York attorney general in 2018 and began pursuing cases against the president, his businesses and his administration.In the civil lawsuit against Mr. Trump and the Trump Organization, James' office accused the company of fraudulently inflating the value of its real estate assets to gain more favorable lending terms in what she called "the art of the steal," a play on the name of Mr. Trump's book, "The Art of the Deal." The president denied wrongdoing, and he and his attorneys lashed out at James, characterizing the case as politically motivated.After a trial that delved deeply into Mr. Trump's business empire, a judge ordered the president and his company to pay a judgment in excess of $350 million — which ballooned to over a half-billion dollars including interest. Judges on New York's appellate court later tossed out the judgment over the summer, calling it "excessive."Since returning to office, Mr. Trump has taken the unprecedented step of encouraging the Justice Department to look into people who he believes wronged him during his first term or his four years out of office — including Comey and James.The moves have been met with some internal backlash. The acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Erik Siebert, resigned last month, amid concern from prosecutors in the office that the Trump administration could fire him for failing to prosecute James.Siebert was replaced as interim U.S. attorney by Lindsey Halligan, a former Trump attorney and White House aide. Just days after she was sworn in, the office asked a grand jury to indict Comey for allegedly lying during a Senate hearing five years ago.Meanwhile, Trump-aligned attorney Ed Martin — who leads the Justice Department's new Weaponization Working Group — pressed James to resign as state attorney general in an August letter obtained by the Associated Press.

Considering the Trump DOJ staff is full of incompetence, I doubt this'll go anywhere. They already gave the defense a perfect excuse when he accidentally sent his marching orders to Bondi as a tweet instead of a DM

>The charges against James are unclear.
The above statement is a lie.
The charges are very clear and there is written evidence siged by James herself proving that she commited mortgage fraud.
The irony is that she accused Trump of mortgage fraud and screeched about how serious mortgage fraud was and that no one is above the law while knowing that she herself had commited mortgage fraud.
The charges are Mortgage Fraud.
The evidence is clear.
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
She said she was married to her Father on one Mortgage application and lied about how many units were in another building that she owned so she could get a more preferential and lower rate of interest on her mortgages. She also lied about where her main address was to get a better mortgage deal.
I don't think even the most biased person could deny the facts in the case and say that she is not guilty of what she accused Trump of doing.
i.e. MORTGAGE FRAUD.
