Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, told Fox News Tuesday evening that mortgage fraud allegations against Democrat New York Attorney General Leticia James were “very bad.”

US Federal Housing Financial Institutions (FHFA) announcement On Thursday, they referred James to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for alleged mortgage fraud. In “Ingraham’s Angle,” host Laura Ingraham highlighted James’ incident against President Donald Trump’s New York business, saying how “we use all these novel legal applications after him.”

“This has been prosecuted in the past. Now we haven’t heard of her side, but these documents themselves are very awful,” Tarley said. “It’s hard to see the listed residences being her primary residence.”

In a letter sent to the DOJ, FHFA Director William Plute argued that James may have forged “the residence status of a Norfolk, Virginia-based home to ensure a low mortgage rate” and “misinformed the real estate description to meet the strict requirements for government-supported loans and government assistance.” (Related: Obama-appointed judges that illegals with San Francisco Rule 350,000 can maintain work permits)

Turley continued to compare James’ incident against Trump with the situation.

“Now, I’m noticing that one of the things Leticia James highlighted in her case against Trump is that Trump had to review documents filed in his name,” added Turley. “So she dismissed the argument that this was a collection of Trump people. She said, “He’s ultimately responsible.” There they argued that she gave a power of attorney in several of these cases.

In September 2022, James sued Trump, claiming he exaggerated the value of his New York property holdings in order to obtain loans. By February 2024, Judge Arthur Ngoron had determined that Trump had to pay more than $450 million in damages, urging Trump and his team to appeal the ruling.

A judge who heard Trump’s appeal in September 2024 appeared to be inclined to reverse the decision, but the president’s lawyers demanded that the case be withdrawn after his victory in November 2024. James, but I declined In order to withdraw the lawsuit in December 2024, her office said it would “not provide for a final decision to be vacant.”
