In recent news, there has been speculation surrounding mortgage fraud allegations against New York Attorney General Letitia James. However, a thorough search of reliable sources has revealed no credible reports or verified information supporting such claims.

The allegations against James, as reported by FCC Free Press, include potential attempts to avoid higher interest rates on second homes and inaccuracies in property records regarding the number of apartments in her Brooklyn townhouse. Yet, it is important to note that no investigation into Attorney General James herself for mortgage fraud has been documented.

Instead, Attorney General James has been actively pursuing mortgage fraud cases. In August 2025, she announced indictments related to mortgage fraud and deed theft, involving forged deeds used to transfer home ownership and obtain fraudulent mortgages. These indictments target individuals accused of forgery, money laundering, and criminal possession of forged instruments as part of a scheme discovered late 2024 [1].

Recent events have seen a visit by Ed Martin, the director of the Justice Department's Weaponization Working Group, to New York Attorney General Letititia James' house. This visit, accompanied by an aide and New York Post journalists, was described as a "truly bizarre, made-for-media stunt" by James' lawyer [2]. Martin also sent a letter to James' lawyer urging her to resign from office, but this action defied Justice Department standards and codes of professional responsibility and legal ethics, according to James' lawyer Abbe Lowell [3].

It is crucial to highlight that the subpoena issued by the Justice Department for records related to civil fraud lawsuits, which stems from a letter sent by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte, does not necessarily imply an investigation into Attorney General James herself. Rather, it could be part of a broader investigation into civil fraud cases [4].

Despite the ongoing speculation, it is essential to approach such matters with caution and rely on verified information from credible sources. The search for the latest and breaking news on this topic would require further monitoring of reliable news outlets.
