Panicked Letitia James Rambles Through Bizarre Reason For Mortgage Fraud (Video)

Letitia James is currently under a federal investigation for purported mortgage fraud. A grand jury has been convened in Virginia to determine whether she falsified legal documents to secure more favorable loan terms.

She explained:

As you know, we filed a lawsuit against Donald, the former, Donald Trump, and his family. We secured a $454 million judgment against him, which is on appeal. The case is on appeal. I have no idea when that case will be decided. This investigation into me is nothing more than retribution.

It’s baseless. It has to do with the fact that on a power of attorney, I mistakenly indicated that I was a state of Virginia, but prior to that, I had indicted to the mortgage broker that, in fact, in bold cap letters that I was not a resident of Virginia and I never will be, and in the mortgage application, I indicated that I would not live in Virginia and that I was not a resident.

They just took the power of attorney, and they are using that as the basis for enforcement for their investigation, when in reality, the power of attorney was never used to determine my eligibility for a mortgage for my niece for a home in the state of Virginia.

My niece, who has children, and because I am a good aunt, I wanted her to have a home.

Does the New York State Bar Association have any standards at all? How does she still hold a license to practice law?
