Woke New York Attorney General Letitia James went on a massive meltdown after Trump slammed her for her alleged fraud, and ordered AG Pam Bondi to investigate the allegations. James has been embroiled in an enormous scandal since federal authorities linked her to a giant real estate fraud case.
For context, Letitia James was one of the key figures in the lawfare campaign against Donald Trump, having tried to fine him nearly $500 million in an apparent political witch hunt. The woke New York Democrat ironically claimed Trump falsified the valuation of his assets while applying for a loan, which was fully repaid.
Responding to the widespread criticism, James’ lawyer Abbe David Lowell defended her in a fiery letter. He said, “Ms. James was the sitting Attorney General of New York and is required by law to have her primary residence in the state of New York—even though her mortgage applications list her intent to have the Norfolk, VA, property as her primary home.”
Building his case, Lowell attacked the author of the letter, saying, “Director Pulte cherry-picked an August 17, 2023 power of attorney that mistakenly stated the property to be Ms. James’ principal residence and at the same time absolutely ignored her very clear and all caps statement two weeks earlier to the mortgage loan broker that ‘[t]his property WILL NOT be my primary residence.’”
Still not done, the woke Democrat’s lawyer declared, “Director Pulte points to a 24-year-old certificate of occupancy listing the property as having five units, despite that the property has functioned as a four-unit residence for the past 24 years since Ms. James bought it,” Lowell added, “In fact, a document he is well aware of, the August 23, 2011 Home Affordable Modification Program application, confirms it as being a four-unit property.”
Concluding the letter, he blamed the president for criticising his client. He said, “Look at the entire file of each event, the haste in which one document has one line filled out in error, and the clear fact that, with the exception of attending school, Attorney General James has only lived in Brooklyn, and the ‘criminal referral’ becomes three pages of stale, threadbare allegations with no reason to proceed other than they are ‘[b]ased on media reports’ and are the next salvo in President Trump’s revenge tour against Attorney General James,” Lowell wrote in the letter.
In the original complaint, government officials painted a much less favorable view of Letitia James. The document stated, “It appears Ms. James’ property and mortgage-related misrepresentations may have continued to her recent 2023 Norfolk, VA property purchase in order to secure a lower interest rate and more favorable loan terms.”

Watch James melt under pressure:
Laying into the woke AG, the letter said, “Based on media reports, Ms. Letitia James has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms. This has potentially included 1) falsifying residence status for a Norfolk, Virginia-based home in order to secure a lower mortgage rate and 2) misrepresenting property descriptions to meet stringent requirements for government backed loans and government assistance.”
