The Justice Department on Friday subpoenaed New York Democratic Attorney General Letitia James to conduct an investigation into whether she violated President Donald Trump’s civil rights.
In 2022, James’ office filed a lawsuit against Trump, his adult sons and the Trump Organization, alleging they inflated the value of its properties, resulting in vendors being misled.
Earlier this year, federal investigators launched a probe into New York Attorney General Letitia James over allegations that she committed mortgage fraud.
The investigation stems from a referral by the federal government’s main housing loan agency, which included evidence of irregularities in a series of home loans James obtained, including for a property in Virginia that she claimed on a form was her primary residence.Â
