The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) began a criminal investigation in May related to James's alleged mortgage fraud, which followed a criminal referral by Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte in April. James, a second-term Democrat, denies any wrongdoing, saying she made and promptly corrected an error on a home purchase form."
"Her attorney accused the DOJ of pursuing a baseless case to serve Trump's vendetta after she won a major fraud judgment against him last year. James's indictment comes just days after Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced their New York offices would close permanently in response to what officials described as James's corrupt and dangerous business practices in the state."
