After the Department of Justice failed to convict New York Attorney General Letitia James on charges of mortgage fraud last year, the Trump administrations federal housing chief, Bill Pulte, has filed a new criminal referral to the department this time asking prosecutors to investigate James for insurance fraud, according to criminal referrals obtained by MS NOW.
Pulte sent the two criminal referrals to two Trump-nominated U.S. attorneys: Jason Reding Quinones of the Southern District of Florida and Andrew Boutros of the Northern District of Illinois. The referrals claim James made misrepresentations in home insurance filings with Universal Property Insurance and Allstate Insurance Company in Florida and Illinois, respectively about how two properties associated with her would be used.
In both referrals, Pulte referenced public social media posts made by Mike Davis, an influential, hard-line pro-Trump attorney.
Pulte, head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, wrote in the Illinois criminal referral, It appears Ms. James made representations that the house would be occupied by a single adult, with no children. Instead, according to the post, she knew the house was actually occupied by four people three children and her niece.
