Letitia James Lawyered Up with Hunter Biden’s Defense Attorney After Trump Official Drops Bombshell Allegations of Mortgage Fraud — Admits to “Mistakenly” Claiming Virginia Home as Primary Residence

New York Attorney General Letitia James has hired Democrat defense attorney Abbe Lowell in a last-ditch effort to spin away serious fraud allegations tied to her real estate dealings.

Lowell, a partner at Winston & Strawn LLP, is known as a high-profile attorney for embattled political figures, having represented Democrats such as Hunter Biden, John Edwards, and even Bill Clinton during his impeachment trial.

According to the Times Union, he was reportedly hired by the Office of the New York State Attorney General, not personally by Letitia James, just days after Trump-appointed officials filed a formal criminal referral to the DOJ.

The referral, spearheaded by U.S. Federal Housing Director William Pulte, accuses James of participating in suspicious real estate and mortgage transactions stretching back decades.

The Gateway Pundit and the White Collar Fraud previously reported back in early March that James has been implicated in multiple instances of mortgage fraud, with the most damning claims centered on her Brooklyn and Virginia properties.

Here Are Letitia James’s Two Big Lies in Her Building Registration that Appear to Defraud NYC — Serious Offense with Significant Legal and Financial Consequences

In New York City, property owners are legally required to register all details of their residential buildings each year with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The goal is to ensure transparency and accountability among building owners, city agencies, and tenants.

Property registration includes providing accurate information about the building’s ownership and its physical characteristics.

Two conspicuous characteristics of any residential building are the number of stories and the number of units. New York State Attorney General Letitia James has lied about them both.

Registration ensures that HPD and other city agencies can quickly contact responsible parties in the event of emergencies, housing code violations, or tenant complaints. Failing to register – or submitting false information – is illegal. False information can invalidate the registration and result in civil penalties.

On Letitia James’s registration page of her apartment building on HPD, she listed the property at 296 Lafayette Blvd in Brooklyn as having only three stories. In fact, it has four.

In New York City, a building with a basement apartment and three additional floors above it is considered a four-story building for the purposes of HPD registration.

4 Admissions Of Social Security Fraud In April Alone Show Waste And Abuse Are Real

When Elon Musk announced in February that there were 10 million Social Security numbers belonging to holders apparently aged 120 years and older, instead of acknowledging the great potential for fraudulent activity, the corporate media downplayed the concerns. They insisted that Social Security fraud is “not very common” and maligned the Trump administration’s efforts to purge the federal government of waste and abuse.

However, multiple instances of Social Security fraud confirmed in April alone are a reminder that the system has enabled abuse for years.

In late March, DOGE announced that, following a “major cleanup” of records, 9.9 million number holders listed with ages 120 years and older “have now been marked deceased.” (While people do live past 100, the oldest person who ever lived in modern times was Jeanne Louise Calment, of France, who died in 1997 at 122 years old.)

Corporate media and so-called experts have claimed that the listed ages of these centenarian number holders may be the result of “coding quirks” in the system and that efforts to mark these number holders as deceased could lead to more errors. But this does not change the fact that unused Social Security numbers marked as live are ripe for fraud.

What can you do with a spare Social Security number? You could register to vote again or sign up for social welfare, like housing, health insurance, cash assistance, and SNAP. Noncitizens can get a job, and of course, collect Social Security retirement or disability benefits.

Last month, a White House fact sheet, citing an inspector general report from 2024, noted how “The Social Security Administration made an estimated $72 billion in improper payments between 2015 and 2022.”

Letitia James Breaks Silence on Mortgage Fraud Scandal Following TGP and White Collar Fraud Report — Dismisses Evidence as ‘Baseless’

New York Attorney General Letitia James is finally responding after explosive allegations surfaced accusing her of mortgage fraud related to her Brooklyn property. But instead of addressing the facts, she’s lashing out at critics — including President Donald Trump — and portraying herself as the victim of a “right-wing revenge tour.”

On Tuesday night, the Trump Administration criminally referred New York State Attorney General Letitia James to the Department of Justice over accusations of mortgage fraud.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) accused Letitia James of falsifying records, citing a 5-unit property in New York she claimed was only four units in order to get a more favorable loan.

FHFA Director William Pulte said in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi that James appears to have falsified records to meet certain lending requirements and receive favorable loan terms.

In an interview Thursday night on NY1’s Inside City Hall, James was asked point-blank about a criminal referral alleging she misrepresented her home’s occupancy classification on mortgage documents — a potential felony offense that would land any other New Yorker behind bars.

Of course, James deflected questions about the mortgage issue, insisting she won’t “litigate this case in a camera.”

Instead, she pivoted to her office’s $454 million judgment against Trump for allegedly ‘inflating asset values’—a case currently under appeal.

NEW EVIDENCE AGAINST NY AG: Letitia James’s Fishy Virginia Foreclosure Purchase in Martinsville Warrants Separate Investigation

New York Attorney General Letitia James’s mortgage fraud problems just got even bigger, and may now include the possible breaking of campaign disclosure laws.

Questions are now being raised about a foreclosure sale in December 2008 that involved James as a purchaser. Documents show her name appearing on the “Final Foreclosure Accounting” for the purchase of a single-family home at 21 Peters Street in Martinsville, Virginia.

Two other names appear on the same document as additional purchasers, Johnsie Finney and Philip Finney. Interestingly, James’s first named is misspelled as “Letitua.” One has to wonder whether this misspelling was intended to make the transaction harder to track. At the time, James was serving on the New York City Council.

Letitia James purchased the 21 Peters Street property with the Finneys at a foreclosure auction sale where full payment was required immediately. The Finneys had been the previous owners of 21 Peters Street, and it was their mortgage that had been foreclosed on by Wells Fargo Bank.

DOGE Does It Again: Unemployment Insurance Claims $254M For Under Age 5

In yet another shocking data discovery from Elon Musk & ‘DOGE’, they found $254 million worth of unemployment insurance claims – for people under the age of 5!

“It’s just one more installment to what we can only call sophisticated white collar crime stealing taxpayer money” said Scott Powell, senior fellow at the Discovery Institute and Newsmax contributor.

This, while radical left protestors continue to march, swearing that none of this fraud, waste, and abuse is happening.

“Sad to say that we’ve come to a point in America where you have large numbers of our population that can no longer think critically, that can no longer really think commonsensically” Powell told KTRH, “But that’s where we’re at.”

ADAM SCHIFF IN DEEP SCHIFF TOO – Evidence Shows He Falsely Registered, Ineligibly Voted, and/or Committed Mortgage Fraud

Evidence Shows that California Senator Adam Schiff, has committed Election Fraud, Ineligible Voting, and/or Mortgage Fraud.  These are BIG time crimes. 

In April of 2023, we reported that an ethics complaint was filed against corrupt US Rep. Adam Schiff.  Today we can report that there is much more to Schiff’s corrupt and even criminal acts.

In April 2023 we reported at The Gateway Pundit that an ethics complaint had been filed against US Rep. Adam Schiff.

We reported:

US Congressman Adam Schiff from California is in deep trouble.  An ethics complaint has been filed against Schiff by a concerned citizen alleging that Schiff has committed election and voter fraud claiming he was both a citizen of California and Maryland. 

A concerned citizen from the state of California uncovered what is believed to be crimes committed by Adam Schiff.

In 2000 Schiff was elected to Congress and has served as a US House member from the state of California ever since.  Schiff reportedly purchased a home in Maryland with his wife in 2003 stating they would occupy this home for 12 consecutive months as their “primary residence”.  Despite this claim, Schiff continued to vote in California.

Schiff refinanced his home in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013 claiming the Maryland home was his primary residence.  In 2009, a House Ethics investigation claimed that Schiff did this and Schiff claimed it was an error and he repaid the exempt taxes to the state of Maryland.

A fellow member of Congress was charged with criminal counts for doing the same thing, Steven Watkins, of Oklahoma.

In addition, the amount of the home mortgage has remained basically the same this entire time. Congress should look into this as well.

When asked about his residence in Maryland months ago while on the campaign trail running for US Senate in California, Schiff shared that his primary residence was in California and neglected to mention that he had repeatedly claimed his Maryland home was his primary residence.

NY AG Letitia James Caught in a Potential Fraud Case of Her Own

New York Attorney General Letitia James is now facing questions surrounding a real estate transaction she executed in August 2023—just weeks before she filed a high-profile civil fraud lawsuit against President Donald Trump.

The document in question, a Specific Power of Attorney signed by James, is raising legal concerns about whether she may have misrepresented her intent to establish a principal residence in Virginia, potentially impacting her eligibility to hold office in New York or exposing her to legal liability.

The issue was flagged by Sam E. Antar, a former certified public accountant and convicted fraudster who now works in forensic accounting.

Antar gained notoriety in the 1980s for his role as the CFO of Crazy Eddie, a now-defunct electronics retailer involved in one of the largest financial fraud cases of the decade.

After a plea deal, Antar turned his efforts toward uncovering white-collar crime.

In a recent post on his website White Collar Fraud, Antar published documents tied to James’s real estate transaction in Norfolk, Virginia.

DOGE Finds 3 States Are Responsible For Over Half Of All Unemployment Fraud

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has identified California, New York, and Massachusetts as the primary states responsible for over half of the fraudulent unemployment claims in the United States since 2020. According to DOGE’s findings, these three Democrat-led states accounted for $305 million out of the $382 million in improper claim payments.

DOGE’s survey revealed numerous fraudulent claims made by individuals with improbable ages , including those listed as over 115 years old, between one and five years old, and even with birthdates that have not yet occurred. These fraudulent claims amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars, with $254 million claimed by children aged one to five and $69 million by individuals with future birthdates.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer emphasized the department’s commitment to recovering these funds, stating, “We will catch these thieves and keep working to root out egregious fraud.” Meanwhile, Elon Musk , who is spearheading the DOGE effort, highlighted the absurdity of the situation, noting that tax dollars were being used to pay fraudulent claims for “fake people born in the future.”

Democrat Massachusetts Lawmaker Arrested on Federal Fraud Charges in Stunning Corruption Scandal

In yet another stunning chapter of Democrat corruption, Massachusetts State Representative Christopher Flanagan (D-First Barnstable) was arrested Thursday after being indicted on five counts of wire fraud and one count of falsification of records in connection to a brazen scheme to steal tens of thousands of dollars from a local trade association.

The embattled Cape Cod legislator allegedly used the stolen cash to fund everything from mortgage payments and Macy’s menswear to psychic services, children’s toys, and even his 2022 political campaign.

Flanagan, 37, who represents the Cape towns of Dennis, Yarmouth, and Brewster, is now facing up to 120 years in prison if convicted. He was arrested Thursday morning and is scheduled to appear in federal court at 2:30 p.m.

According to the bombshell federal indictment, Flanagan’s theft began in 2021 while he was serving as Executive Officer of the Home Builders Association of Cape Cod (HBA).

With personal debt mounting and his bank accounts hemorrhaging from overdraft fees and missed mortgage payments, Flanagan allegedly began siphoning money from the nonprofit — ultimately embezzling at least $36,000 through wire transfers, PayPal, and official checks.
