Turley noted that James' defense relies on an argument that financial institutions should have conducted their own due diligence, a standard she outright refused to grant Trump in her own case against him.
[PJMedia.com] On Thursday, we reported that federal authorities have launched a criminal investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James over allegations of mortgage fraud. Later, during a Fox Business interview about these charges, George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley told host Elizabeth MacDonald that "the karma is crushing here."

During the segment, Turley pointed to contradictions in James' defense strategy that he believes mirror accusations she previously made against former President Donald Trump.
"These all have to be combed out," Turley explained when asked about the seriousness of the charges. "The James defense team is saying that there were contradictions that were corrected, that, for example, that home was the primary residence of the other signatory."
According to the referral from Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte, James is accused of falsifying records to obtain favorable loan terms on two properties: a Brooklyn brownstone she's owned since 2001 and a Virginia home purchased in 2023. The case is now being handled by US Attorney John Sarcone III, whose office in New York's Northern District is leading the investigation. Pulte stated that James "appears to have falsified records" to meet lending requirements and secure better mortgage terms.
Turley noted that James' defense relies on an argument that financial institutions should have conducted their own due diligence, a standard she outright refused to grant Trump in her own case against him.
"It's an ironic defense because they're saying, 'Look, if the bank simply looked into this on their own, they could see that these were more units than just four, that this was not the primary residence of James,'" Turley stated. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
