New York Attorney General Letitia James faces federal mortgage fraud charges over a 2020 Virginia home purchase, accused of misrepresenting it as a second residence to obtain better loan terms.
She denies wrongdoing, calling the case a political attack pushed by Trump.
The indictment followed the ouster of a U.S. attorney who resisted pressure to charge her and the appointment of former Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan, who later leaked case details to a reporter, prompting James’ lawyers to seek a gag order.
