New York Attorney General Letitia James faces mounting trouble after a pro-Trump legal group filed a state ethics complaint against her. The America First Legal (AFL) claims James is guilty of lying on mortgage documents to cheat taxpayers. They want New York courts to investigate these “bold-faced lies” that could cost her law license.
AFL accuses James of breaking New York ethics rules meant to stop lawyers from breaking the law for personal gain. They say she falsified records to get better loan rates on her properties in Virginia and Brooklyn. This is the same kind of fraud she loudly accused former President Trump of committing.
James allegedly listed a Brooklyn building as having four apartments instead of five to get cheaper mortgage rates. Critics say this tricked lenders and taxpayers. If proven, it means the state’s top law officer broke the rules she enforces on others.
James denies everything, calling the allegations “baseless” and part of a Republican “revenge tour.” But allies of Trump like Congresswoman Elise Stefanik say the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s investigation proves no one is above the law—even Democrat AGs.
For years, conservatives have complained James weaponized her office against Trump. Now they see poetic justice. Stefanik points out the hypocrisy: James sued Trump for dishonesty while apparently committing the same crimes.
The complaints argue her actions “undermine trust in our legal system.” AFL warns if she got away with this, ordinary citizens would lose faith. They demand New York take her law license away.
Trump supporters see this as proof elitist Democrats play by different rules. James’ alleged mortgage scam is just the latest example of her double standards. The FBI investigation needs to deliver answers—fast.
Millions of law-abiding Americans pay their mortgages in good faith. If Letitia James lied to get sweetheart deals, she must face the same tough accountability she demanded for her political enemies. Justice isn’t jungle rules—it’s fair and square.
