But this isn’t just any fundraiser—it’s happening just days after James was slapped with a federal criminal referral over explosive mortgage fraud allegations tied to multiple properties, spanning two states and several decades.
Still, the event’s listing—hosted on the far-left ActBlue platform—reads like a celebration of virtue signaling. “Letitia James is fighting for our rights every single day. This is our opportunity to show Letitia that we have her back,” the invite proclaims.
Fighting for whom, exactly? New Yorkers paying the price for failed leadership might beg to differ.
The timing of the fundraiser couldn’t be more damning. Just this week, James was referred to the Department of Justice by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which alleges she falsified key mortgage documents. Specifically, she reportedly listed a Norfolk, Virginia, home as her “principal residence” in 2023—despite being the Attorney General of New York, a position requiring in-state residency.
In a Thursday interview on NY1’s Inside City Hall, James was asked about the criminal referral tied to that claim. Her response?
“Let me just say to all New Yorkers and to all Americans: the allegations are baseless. The allegations are nothing more than a revenge tour,” she stated.
But the evidence piling up tells a different story.
Reports indicate James has been entangled in questionable property deals stretching back years. One of the more troubling allegations involves her Brooklyn apartment building. James allegedly listed it as a four-unit dwelling on loan documents, when official records confirm it contains five units. This misclassification allowed her to qualify for a taxpayer-backed HAMP loan in 2011 with an interest rate of just 2.7%—saving her roughly $44,000 annually.
That loan came despite James earning over $126,000 that same year from her City Council job, CUNY teaching position, and rental income. Critics say the claim of “financial hardship” required for HAMP eligibility doesn’t hold water.
In another eyebrow-raising revelation, James reportedly bought a Norfolk home in 2023 and again listed it as her primary residence—another requirement for receiving favorable mortgage terms. Yet she continued serving as New York’s Attorney General, prompting serious questions about whether she violated state law.
The FHFA’s referral to the DOJ paints a picture of deliberate misrepresentation. Director William Pulte said James obtained a $219,780 mortgage with “preferential terms” by falsely claiming occupancy.

And if that weren’t bizarre enough, past records reveal a 1983 property transaction between James and her father, Robert James, in which both were listed as “husband and wife”—a move some suggest was a scheme to secure better loan conditions.
If these allegations prove accurate, James could be staring down felony charges—offenses that would land ordinary citizens behind bars.
While the legal fallout unfolds, the question remains: why is New York’s top cop raising tens of thousands of dollars per head while under a federal microscope?
For everyday Americans struggling to make ends meet, the optics are damning. For Letitia James, it may be the beginning of the end.
Stay tuned—this story is far from over.
