Federal housing regulator Bill Pulte has criminally referred embattled New York Attorney General Letitia James to the Justice Department for homeowner insurance fraud.
Pulte previously referred James for prosecution for mortgage fraud related to her property in Norfolk, Virginia.
Last year, Article III Project founder Mike Davis said that then-US Attorney Lindsey Halligan revealed that Letitia James may have defrauded her homeowners’ insurer.

On her homeowner’s insurance application, Letitia James claimed that her Norfolk house was unoccupied five months out of the year.
This is false. James’ niece lives in the home.

According to Just The News, Pulte criminally referred Letitia James to the Justice Department again:
The director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has again referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the U.S. Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, proffering allegations that New York’s top cop may have falsified information on her homeowner’s insurance application.
The FHFA Director William Pulte, who oversees Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, asked U.S. Attorneys in Florida and Illinois on Wednesday to “authenticate and investigate” the information, according to two letters reviewed by Just the News.
In December, a federal grand jury in Virginia declined to Letitia James for mortgage fraud.
It was the second time federal prosecutors failed to secure an indictment against Letitia James after her other case was dismissed by a Clinton-appointed judge.
James was previously charged with two crimes: Bank Fraud under 18 U.S.C. Section 1344 and False Statements to a Financial Institution under 18 U.S.C. Section 1014.
The charges were related to a mortgage loan on a property James owns in Norfolk, Virginia, referred to as “the Perrone Property.”

In January it was reported that federal prosecutors launched a new criminal investigation into Letitia James over financial transactions with her longtime hairdresser, Iyesata Marsh.
The New York Times and CBS reported that the new investigation, which is still in the early stages, is being led by the Northern District of New York and the Western District of Louisiana.
