I’m trying to find the filing. Someone only posted screenshots on X.
US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan dropped new evidence against New York Attorney General Letitia James regarding the investigation into alleged mortgage fraud.
Last month, a federal grand jury indicted James on two charges:
Two charges:
- Count one: Bank Fraud – 18 U.S. Code § 1344
- Count two: False Statements to a Financial Institution – 18 U.S. Code § 1014
Exhibit 4 in the new evidence shows James swore under oath that she would use the Norfolk, VA, property as a second home.
James did not live at the property.
Exhibit 4 in Halligan’s filing is Letitia James’s Affidavit of Occupancy, where she swore under oath that she would be using the Norfolk, Virginia property she bought as a second home.

When James filled out the homeowner’s insurance forms, she claimed no one lived in the house for five months.
Well…James’s grandniece, Nakia Thompson, lived on the property.
In her homeowner’s insurance application, James claimed that the Norfolk house was unoccupied five months out of the year.
This was false.

James wrote on another insurance application that a single adult occupied the house with no children.
James’s grandniece and three children lived there.

James’s grandniece registered the utilities in her name in September 2020 even though James claimed she moved into the house in October 2020.
James knew all these claims were false when she made them.
In the tweet above, James claimed to have moved into the property in October 2020.
But in September 2020, James’ niece – who James was collecting rent from – registered utilities in the niece’s name.

Lindsey Halligan’s prosecution of Letitia James is a righteous, garden-variety mortgage fraud prosecution.
As her filing shows, prosecutions are routinely brought in the Eastern District of Virginia for fraud over similar amounts of cash.

Last month, authorities charged Thompson with profane, threatening, or indecent language over public airways after she allegedly threatened an assistant principal at her child’s school.
Thompson is also wanted in North Carolina for not finishing her probation.
Then we find out the cops had been called 12 times since Thompson moved into the house in 2020.
The police were called to the house multiple times in a day several times.
The other house in James’s case, bought in 2023, had similar police activity:
James’ other Norfolk residence, purchased in 2023 via a $219,780 mortgage loan, is inhabited by her OnlyFans-model grandniece Cayla Thompson-Hairston, 21, as well as her mother, Shamice Thompson-Hairston, and sister Courtney.
That property also has had repeated police calls, with 10 visits by officers between April 2024 and April 2025.
Calls for warrant service and a subpoena were included — along with calls for a domestic dispute and a reported assault.
One service call was placed in April 2025, but the other nine fell during a six-month period between April 2024 and October 2024.
Cayla was charged in April 2024 with lying about her felony criminal record when she tried to purchase a gun in Suffolk, Virginia, according to court docs.

“Lindsey Halligan’s prosecution of Letitia James is a righteous, garden-variety mortgage fraud prosecution. As her filing shows, prosecutions are routinely brought in the Eastern District of Virginia for fraud over similar amounts of cash.” Love it!
According to the NY State AG, Ms. James, “No one is above the law.”
Seems a bit much though. No real heavy losses, nobody really suffered.
So $500m fine, obviously.
Pass the popcorn.
I just bought some! Pop Secret movie theater butter.
Member of the Nomenklatura, double protected class, Leftist. The odds of this being carried through to trial are bloody small. The odds of there being a conviction [other than possibly being plea bargained down to a misdemeanor or petty offense] even smaller. The odds of the imposition of any real penalty if convicted, microscopic.
Subotai Bahadur
Odds are she will skate. Two-tiered justice is real and leftist judges aren’t even trying to be discreet about it anymore.
If the judge doesn’t dismiss it outright, the odds are the jury will find not guilty in 15 minutes or less. Prosecuting a borrower for buying a second home for housing relatives in it when she isn’t there isn’t going to fly – even with a jury of 12 Republicans.
1. She won’t see a day of jail.
2. She gets a book deal.
3. Ken Burns does an 8 part documentary for PBS.
Why is that, Yogi? Is it because….
Oh never mind.
The plot thickens
And not just the plot.
At this point, one has to wonder if James has ever told the truth about anything.
Snort. I don’t wonder at all.
Ms. James, like so many in public service, is an appetite: she wants what she wants, and she goes after it. There is little to no concept of ‘public’ service, it’s all about gratifying herself with whatever she can grab. It can be money, it can be benefits and travel, and most of all, it can be power and the use of power to satisfy her appetite.
As we say in Chicago, she can smell the meat a’cookin…
Surely it is OK to buy a second home and put relatives in it when you are not there. True, it is not OK to lie about it on legal documents, but the most egregious lies were to the insurance company, not the lender. If she did an offense, it isn’t much of one, and I doubt most juries will convict. I would have a hard time getting to guilty on this one, and I happen to think she is the worst sort of vile scum that personifies the Democratic Party.
But it’s not ok to claim it’s your primary residence so you get a deal from the lender. Hence the mortgage fraud.
She didn’t claim it was her primary residence. She’s charged with falsely claiming to be buying it as a second home.
Distinction without a difference. A 2nd home gets a more favorable interest, tax, and insurance rate albeit not as favorable as a primary, but close. But once it’s rented, it becomes an investment property. That’s a much different and more expensive proposition all around.
I have personal experience in this, but I’m not a two-fer or even a one-fer, so the following means nothing. I had a mortgage on my house in Seattle before it went down the tubes. Career took me to Boston. Bought a house there, two mortgages. When I re-financed on the way out of Seattle, had to pay 3/4% more because it was a rental property. No questions about who the tenant would be.
I answered honestly and paid the freight, but I was a no-fer, and not even a lawyer and not a public official. Just a palefaced puke and walking wallet. She lied to the insurer? That be insurance fraud, but she’s a two-fer.
Incorrect — if you buy a home, the choices are ‘resident’ (you live there), ‘vacation’ (your house at the beach), and ‘rental’ (everything else. The first has a lower interest rate because you’re less likely to default on your primary residence. Rental homes have a higher default risk and thus a higher interest rate.
By lying, Ms. James defrauded the bank — ironically, exactly what she accused Mr. Trump of doing.
Correct! They didn’t ask me whether I’d be renting to relatives, only whether it would be a rental. Oh, and the idea that she somehow shouldn’t be expected to look at the application? I once kept two people from a mortgage lender waiting in my office for 45 minutes while I read the contract, on a day when time was short. Paid off, too. I found the attempt at a double charge and saved $1,200. Leticia James is a stupid liar and deserves prison for that alone.
Exactly. At one point I had multiple properties in three States. Only one can be the primary residence. Can’t qualify for a mortgage without insurance and the mortgage holder will demand pay off if your insurance lapsed. Both ‘misstatements’ about primary residence and IN were very much material to whether she would qualify for a loan, at what interest rate/terms and whether she’d face a call on the loan from IN lapse.
What misstatement about primary residence? She’s charged with falsely claiming it would be a second residence, not a first one.
So, falsely claiming it was a second residence rather than an investment property is somehow a different sort of falsehood than claiming primary?
Both are falsehoods on document sthat require you to swear they are truthful.
Ok my bad. 2nd residence not primary residence but in any event she didn’t accurately describe the use of the property as a rental/investment property.
The fact is a primary residence gets more favorable terms than a second residence/vacation home which gets more favorable terms than an investment/rental property. True for both mortgages and Insurance.
dont let her off the hook
We can hope, but my money is that she never suffers much. At most, it will be pled down to a very light wrist slap.
Too many get out of jail free cards.
I once stayed at a Holiday Inn… can I claim that as a second home for tax purposes?
Yes, she defrauded the bank. But she also defrauded the investors who purchased her mortgage and packaged it into a mortgage-backed security. Think “Big Short” and Countrywide.
Mortgage fraud? How about harboring a fugitive? How did the cops go to that house a dozen times and not know the niece was a wanted fugitive from NC?
The warrant may have been marked as NC having no interest in extradition.
hellooooooo!!!
fear of the rioters has cornered americans into the corner
Still waiting to see if it doesn’t get swept away of race / gender or some right of privilege.
Is she also looking at tax evasion? She’s saying it wasn’t rented out but she was collecting rent.
