Letitia James, New York's Attorney General, confronts a federal criminal probe into alleged mortgage deception involving her Brooklyn townhouse and Virginia property. Special Prosecutor Ed Martin has demanded her immediate resignation, calling it essential for restoring public trust.
Investigators claim James misclassified her Lafayette Avenue residence as four units instead of five, securing advantageous Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans illegally. She also allegedly designated a Norfolk home as her principal residence while serving in New York, triggering federal scrutiny.
The accusations mirror cases James previously prosecuted, including her high-profile pursuit of President Trump for property valuation disputes. Grand juries in Virginia and Maryland are now weighing criminal indictments, marking a dramatic reversal for the once-aggressive prosecutor.
