Letitia ‘No One Is Above The Law’ James Indicted For Mortgage Fraud

Federal grand jury INDICTS Letitia James for FRAUD



New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted on a fraud charge by a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, according to two sources who spoke to CNN.

President Donald Trump has been in a feud with James since she sued him and the Trump Organization for allegedly overvaluing properties in order to secure favorable loans and other financial benefits.

A report about the grand jury indictment indicated that Halligan herself presented the case against James.

After regaining office, Trump pounced on allegations from Bill Pulte, the Federal Housing Finance Agency director, that James had improperly declared a Virginia home her primary residence in order to secure financial advantages.

On Monday a report from MSNBC indicated that prosecutor Elizabeth Yusi had told acquaintances that she believed there was not enough evidence to prosecute James. The sources of the report also believed that Yusi might be fired after presenting her recommendation to interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan.

A report about the grand jury indictment indicated that Halligan herself presented the case against James. The AP reported that James has been indicted on one count of fraud.

RELATED: Trump calls on 'wacky crook' Letitia James to resign after troubling fraud allegation surfaces

Trump has excoriated James on social media and at one point referred to her as a "wacky crook."

Critics have accused the president of abusing the powers of government to persecute his political enemies. A judge in the fraud case against Trump ordered him to pay $355 million in penalties, but an appeals court later dismissed the fine, ruling in August that it was "excessive" and unconstitutional.

"This is a political witch hunt and I think she should be ashamed of herself," Trump testified during the case. "You believe this political hack back there and that’s unfortunate."

A spate of resignations, leaks, and refusals to prosecute clear-cut crimes out of the Eastern District of Virginia show that President Trump needs to make it clear he is in charge of the Justice Department.

Virginia prosecutor planning to let Letitia James off the hook on mortgage fraud allegations: MSNBC



A Virginia prosecutor has indicated that she may decline to charge New York Attorney General Letitia James in connection with alleged mortgage fraud.

Trump demanded that James resign from her office and called her a "wacky crook" in a social media post in April after the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency released evidence that she allegedly falsely claimed a Virginia property as her "principal" residence.

'Corrupt Letitia James is costing New York State Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in lost business.'

Norfolk prosecutor Elizabeth Yusi told co-workers that she did not believe there was probable cause to prosecute James, according to two sources who spoke to MSNBC.

The report said that Yusi will present her recommendation to interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan in the coming weeks. The sources said that prosecutors are bracing themselves for the likelihood that Yusi will be fired by Halligan for refusing to prosecute.

The president continued his rhetorical assault on James in a post Saturday on social media.

"Corrupt Letitia James is costing New York State Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in lost business. No company or individual wants to be there, knowing that she's the 'Attorney General.' She is a Complete and Total Disaster," he wrote.

MSNBC reported that the Department of Justice declined to comment and the White House did not respond to the request.

Blaze News reached out to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia and to James' office for comment.

"Until this 'SCUM' is removed from the Attorney General's Office, no company will move to New York, and few companies will be using the New York Stock Exchange, or NASDAQ, for going Public," the president added.
