Letitia James EXPOSED? Trump Admin Drops BOMBSHELL Fraud Case—Fake Husband, Fake Home, BUSTED!

Trump’s administration has referred New York AG Letitia James for criminal prosecution, alleging she committed mortgage fraud by misrepresenting her primary residence and falsely listing her father as her husband. The explosive claims come as James continues to pursue legal action against Trump. Critics call it poetic justice, pointing out James previously charged Trump for similar offenses. Legal experts say the documents appear “damning,” raising questions about whether James followed the same legal standards she holds others to.
