Prior to President Trump’s reelection last fall, there was no more a polarizing left-wing figure involved in the many ridiculous and politically motivated prosecutions against him than New York Attorney General Letitia James, who made persecuting the then-former president the central theme of her entire campaign. So it is of no greater satisfaction to the tens of millions of Trump supporters to now see her being served up a huge dose of her own lawfare medicine — by the Trump administration, no less.
You may recall that James—who famously declared that “no one is above the law” while pursuing legal action against Trump—now faces a federal criminal referral over alleged mortgage fraud, reports noted earlier this month. Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte sent the referral to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche, accusing James of falsifying records to obtain home loans for a Virginia property she claimed as her “principal residence” in 2023—while still serving as a New York state prosecutor.
