Trump Administration Seeks Revenge on His New York Nemesis With Criminal Referral

President Donald Trump’s federal housing director has asked the Department of Justice to investigate one of Trump’s most high-profile enemies for alleged mortgage fraud.

A criminal referral sent by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte accuses New York Attorney General Letitia James of allegedly falsifying records to get better home mortgage terms from federally backed lenders.d

James has been a target of Trump’s disdain since she successfully sued the Trump Organization for over-inflating the values of its properties to secure better loan terms. A judge found the organization had committed fraud for years and ordered it to pay a $454 million judgment.
