Hypocrite Letitia James Now Accused of Multiple Instances of Mortgage Fraud, with Batya Ungar-Sargon

In a mind-blowing twist that could redefine the word hypocrisy, New York Attorney General Letitia James — the very face of progressive legal crusading against Donald Trump — now finds herself under a federal criminal referral for mortgage fraud.

Yes, the same Letitia James who made headlines by accusing Trump of financial misconduct is now facing allegations that could send shockwaves through the legal and political establishment.

The allegations, first brought to light by White Collar Fraud and quickly picked up by Fox News, accuse James of committing multiple instances of mortgage fraud — not 30 years ago in some obscure filing, but in recent years, while serving as one of the most powerful law enforcement officials in the country.

And the details? They’re as damning as they are ironic.

The Virginia House Lie

Let’s start with her alleged property in Virginia.

Despite serving as the AG of New York — a job that legally and logistically requires her to live in the Empire State — James reportedly applied for a mortgage on a Virginia home under the false pretense that it would be her primary residence.

Why does that matter? Because banks offer better rates for primary residences, considering them less risky.

It’s a lie intended to defraud a financial institution — the same type of deception James accused Trump of when claiming he inflated property values to secure favorable loans.

To cover her tracks, she allegedly gave power of attorney to a lawyer who declared — falsely — that the Virginia property was her primary home.

But here’s the legal kicker: having your lawyer lie for you is the same as lying yourself under federal law.

This isn’t legal gray area — it’s fraud, plain and simple.

The Brooklyn Bedroom Shuffle

The Virginia fiasco isn’t the end.

The accusations go on to detail another scheme involving a Brooklyn property.

According to the complaint, James allegedly misrepresented the size of the dwelling, claiming it had four bedrooms to qualify for a lower mortgage rate — when in fact, it had five.

This may sound trivial, but it’s not.

Mortgage rates and loan eligibility can drastically shift based on such details, and deliberately falsifying them constitutes mortgage fraud.

And once again, this isn’t an innocent mistake about how a room is used.

The law cares about what’s legally a bedroom — not whether someone calls it a “study” or “bonus room.”

The 1983 Bombshell

If that weren’t enough, documents from as far back as 1983 show James allegedly filed a mortgage application with her father, falsely claiming they were husband and wife.

If true, this isn’t just a bizarre clerical error — it’s a calculated lie to qualify for a loan under more favorable conditions.

And apparently, this tactic may have been used again in 2000.

While some might dismiss this as ancient history, prosecutors won’t.

Patterns of dishonesty matter — especially in criminal trials.

Just ask Harvey Weinstein, whose past behavior formed the backbone of his prosecution.

This kind of evidence can come back with a vengeance — and in James’ case, it’s already circling like vultures.
