New York Attorney General Letitia James Indicted on Federal Mortgage Fraud Charge

New York Attorney General Letitia James was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia on a single count of bank fraud, according to a source familiar with the case, as reported by the New York Post.
Federal investigators also examined claims that James misrepresented the structure of her Brooklyn brownstone, allegedly reporting it as a four-unit property instead of five to qualify for more advantageous loan terms on both her New York and Virginia properties.

The indictment, handed down in the same federal district where former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on Sept. 25 for lying to Congress and obstruction of justice, centers on allegations that James falsified records to obtain favorable mortgage terms for a Norfolk, Virginia property she purchased in 2023.
