💨 Abstract

A lawyer for New York Attorney General Letitia James has urged the Justice Department to reject a request from a Trump administration official to prosecute James for mortgage fraud, calling it "improper political retribution." The accusation against James, that she falsely told lenders she would use a house in Virginia as her primary residence, is disputed by records and correspondence related to the real estate transaction.
