Ethics complaint against Letitia James calls for NY state courts to investigate Trump admin fraud claims

New York Attorney General Letitia James is the subject of a new state-level ethics complaint filed by pro-Trump legal nonprofit America First Legal (AFL).

The AFL complaint filed last week adds to the recent woes for James, who’s also facing a criminal referral from the Trump administration related to accusations of mortgage fraud.

“For a state prosecutor who has maligned the President of the United States for political gain, public accountability will serve as a cure to Letitia James’ endless lawfare and abuse of power,” AFL Vice President Dan Epstein said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

The complaint was filed with the New York State Unified Court System’s Committee on Professional Standards, the state-level entity that handles discipline matters for attorneys whose principal office is in the Albany region. The complaint requests that the attorney grievance committee open an investigation into James over accusations of mortgage fraud levied against her earlier this month by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA).

Those accusations were published in a criminal referral sent earlier this month to the Department of Justice by FHFA Director William Pulte. In the referral, Pulte accused James of falsifying mortgage records to obtain more favorable loans.
