- While Letitia James and her high-powered attorney Abbe Lowell continue to label the allegations “baseless,”damning paper trails tell another story.
- Federal housing chief William Pulte flagged filings where James allegedly misrepresented her Virginia property as a “primary residence”—a legal distinction that can drastically impact loan rates and qualification.
The Breaking Point: A Formal Criminal Probe Is Now Underway
ALBANY —This is no longer speculation. USA Herald has confirmed that the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office in Albany have opened a formal investigation into the real estate transactions and mortgage filings of Letitia James—New York’s top law enforcement official. And let me be blunt: it’s a big deal.
It remains unclear why U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi directed the referral to the Northern District of New York, given that while Letitia James is a statewide elected official with an office in Albany, the property transactions under scrutiny were primarily executed in New York City and Virginia. Although some of these dealings may fall outside the statute of limitations, one key mortgage tied to her 2023 Virginia property purchase remains well within federal jurisdiction.
The referral from William J. Pulte, director of the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency, outlines allegations that include falsifying loan documents, misrepresenting occupancy statuses, and acquiring favorable government-backed mortgages under false pretenses.
Once this landed in the hands of Bondi and Patel, it moved swiftly. These aren’t passive observers—both are known for tenacity and precision. And while critics argue this is politically motivated payback, the evidence trail says otherwise.
