(WND News Center)βLetitia James, the New York attorney general whose vast civil fraud case against President Donald Trump collapsed in an appeals court decision that her punishment of $500 million was unconstitutional, was herself indicted on mortgage fraud this week.
And she had, likely injudiciously, commented on social media about her agenda against Trump, who she promised to βgetβ when she was campaigning for office.
She had said, βWhen powerful people cheat to get better loans, it comes at the expense of hardworking people. Everyday Americans cannot lie to a bank to get a mortgage, and if they did, our government would throw the book at them. There simply cannot be different rules for different people.β
That was in February 2024 when she was attacking Trump on a regular basis on social media.
But now sheβs indicted on allegations she falsely claimed a home she bought in Virginia was for her personal residence, in order to obtain a better mortgage interest rate, but then she leased it as a rental, confirming both claims in government records.
Online, people were lined up to remind her of her comments, which have βaged like milk,β according to Kelly Currie.
