Appraising the Federal Indictment of Letitia James
The legal clashes between New York Attorney General Letitia James and President Donald Trump took a turn with a federal indictment on Oct. 9 charging James with mortgage fraud.
The government alleges that when James bought a house in Norfolk, Virginia, she told the mortgage broker it would be a second home to get a lower interest rate, but she then used it as a rental property.
James called the charges in the indictment “baseless.”
News reports say the house was purchased for her great-niece who lived in the home rent-free, though James has listed a few thousand dollars in income from the property.
Legal experts have questioned the merits of the indictment.
Author's summary: Letitia James faces mortgage fraud charges.
