Washington, D.C. The New York Attorney General Letitia James is now facing scrutiny herself as a federal housing agency has reportedly submitted a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ) alleging potential falsification of mortgage records. According to sources, the referral stems from concerns raised regarding documents filed by James' office. The specific details of the alleged falsification have not been publicly released.
The referral to the DOJ adds a layer of complexity to the legal landscape surrounding James, who recently led a case against former President Donald Trump and the Trump Organization. That case, which alleged financial misconduct, resulted in a significant judgment against Trump. Critics have pointed to the timing of the referral, suggesting a possible connection to James' previous legal actions.
The Department of Justice will now assess the evidence presented in the referral and determine whether a formal investigation is warranted. If the DOJ decides to proceed, it could have significant implications for James' career and the legal proceedings in which she is currently involved. A spokesperson for James' office has not yet issued a statement regarding the referral.
