Letitia James appears to have borrowed from Ilhan Omar’s book regarding incestuous relationships for convenience.
As we reported this week, James has been referred to the Department of Justice for allegedly lying about properties she owned to secure favorable loan terms—the exact same charges she brought against President Donald Trump.
James told banks that her property was her primary residence, despite it being located in Virginia and “despite being a statewide public office holder in the state of New York at that same time and primarily residing in the state of New York,” according to a letter from U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte to Pam Bondi.
The letter read:
“Primary residence mortgages receive more favorable loan terms, including lower interest rates, than secondary residence mortgages. Lenders view secondary residence mortgages as significantly riskier, as a borrower is more likely to continue paying off a primary residence mortgage during any financial hardship. Interest rates on secondary residence mortgages are typically between 0.25-0.50 percent higher than their primary residence counterparts; however, this gap can widen depending on the lender.”
Those who read beyond the surface found that James had her father co-sign a loan for her in 1983 when she was 22, but they were listed as “husband and wife.”
This behavior wasn’t limited to her younger years.
“Then, on May 4, 2000, Ms. James was listed again as ‘husband and wife’ in documents,” Pulte noted. James would have been 41 when that document was signed.
“Ms. James, for both properties listed above, appears to have falsified records in order to meet certain lending requirements and receive favorable loan terms,” Pulte wrote.
In the documents, her signature appears right beside the “husband and wife” designation.
“While this was a long time ago, it raises serious concerns about the validity of Ms. James’ representations on mortgage applications,” Pulte noted.
This didn’t happen just once—it occurred over a 17-year period. Correcting the record today likely wouldn’t expose James to anything more than higher interest rates, which is exactly what she prosecuted Donald Trump for.
“Attorney General James is focused every single day on protecting New Yorkers, especially as this Administration weaponizes the federal government against the rule of law and the Constitution. According to the New York Post, she will not be intimidated by bullies — no matter who they are,” a spokesman for the attorney general said.
When reporters attempted to question James, she pretended to be on the phone—so, of course, she had nothing to hide.

Oh, so using the same law that Ms. James used against Donald Trump isn’t good enough for her? Her spokesperson should get a resume started, ’cause Ms. James’ future has concrete blocks and iron bars in it.
