Fresh Spin:
NY AG Letitia James' Defense Team Goes on the Offensive
Our correspondent Christina Coleman shines a light on the unfolding drama surrounding New York Attorney General Letitia James, as she faces heated accusations from pro-Trump legal group America First Legal (AFL).
Amid a slew of troubles, James is currently under fire for a state-level ethics complaint filed by the AFL, adding to her existing woes, including a criminal referral from the Trump administration over alleged mortgage fraud.
"Letitia James' lawyer, Abbe Lowell, is not hesitating to push back against these baseless allegations," AFL Vice President Dan Epstein stated, in response to the AFL complaint. The complaint, filed with the New York State Unified Court System’s Committee on Professional Standards, requests an investigation into James over mortgage fraud accusations.

The underlying mortgage fraud allegations were presented in a criminal referral sent to the Department of Justice by FHFA Director William Pulte earlier this month. Pulte accused James of falsifying mortgage records to obtain more favorable loans, a move that potentialy breaches the New York State Bar Association's rules of professional conduct.
"If Pulte's claims are grounded in truth, it appears we have a sitting state Attorney General engaging in fraudulent activities," Epstein observed.

With Abbe Lowell on board, James is readying herself to repel these allegations. In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Lowell dismissed the referral against James as an "improper political retribution" by Trump. Lowell also countered some of the accusations, such as the claim that James misrepresented her Virginia property as her primary residence, stating it was a clerical error.
Lowell also disputed accusations of inflating the number of livable units in a Brooklyn residence, claiming that AFL's referral disregards updated documentation.
As the investigations continue, James and her team remain resolute in the face of these challenges.
