Federal prosecutors are investigating New York Attorney General Letitia James over alleged mortgage fraud. Conservative leaders are calling it a major accountability moment for a Democrat official accused of abusing power to target political enemies while facing similar accusations herself.
Congresswoman Elise Stefanik praised the FBI probe, calling James “hypocritical” for allegedly falsifying loan records after prosecuting President Trump for business fraud. Stefanik claims James weaponized her office illegally against Trump, citing over 50 biased social media posts during his civil trial.
The investigation follows explosive reports that James secured favorable mortgage terms using falsified documents. Critics say this mirrors the fraud accusations she levied against Trump—a clear “double standard” favoring Democrat elites. James’ office has not directly addressed the allegations.
Stefanik previously filed a formal ethics complaint against James, accusing her of violating professional conduct rules. The complaint details how James campaigned on targeting Trump before taking office, turning the AG’s role into a partisan attack dog instead of enforcing laws fairly.
New York Republicans exposed how Governor Hochul secretly used taxpayer funds to cover James’ legal bills. This backroom deal sparked outrage as families struggle with soaring living costs. Conservatives argue it’s proof of Albany’s corrupt Democrat machine protecting its own.
James recently touted convictions against gun traffickers, but conservatives say it’s a distraction. They note her lawsuits against Trump policies and aggressive prosecutions of Republicans contrast sharply with her own alleged lawbreaking.
Legal experts warn James could face prison if charged, citing federal mortgage fraud penalties. Her prosecution of Trump—resulting in massive fines—now looks like political revenge, not justice. Voters see a two-tiered system where Democrats operate above the law.
This case highlights the rot in New York’s leadership. From rigged budgets to weaponized prosecutions, Democrats like James and Hochul prioritize power over the people. The FBI probe offers hope that truth—and consequences—will finally prevail.
