New York Attorney General Letitia James, who prosecuted President Donald Trump for alleged financial crimes, has been hit with a federal criminal referral over mortgage fraud allegations, according to a letter obtained by The New York Post.
James, 66, launched a civil fraud case against Trump and his business empire in 2022, accusing him of inflating the value of Trump Organization assets. The proceedings ended with Judge Arthur Engoron ordering the now-president to pay a $354 million fine plus interest.
