NY AG confronted about Trump obession
...
New York Attorney General Letitia James faced an unexpected confrontation at a Thursday night town hall, where a lone voice pierced through the room’s anti-Trump fervor. The event, meant to showcase James’ agenda, took a sharp turn when a supporter of President Donald Trump stood up, demanding accountability. His challenge exposed the simmering tension around James’ relentless legal pursuits, which many see as politically motivated overreach. The incident laid bare the divisive atmosphere surrounding her tenure, as her critics grow louder.
The town hall, packed with anti-Trump attendees, was a stage for leftist talking points from panelists who rarely deviated from the script. James, a Democrat, basked in the supportive crowd, but the mood shifted when one man refused to play along. Rising to his feet, he confronted her directly, his question cutting through the room like a blade. “My question is for Tish James. Will you apologize to President Trump for wasting millions of dollars and the state of New York for a witch trial?” he asked, before adding, “And how does it feel to know that you are [going to] prison for mortgage fraud?”

Trump has consistently framed James’ efforts as a “witch hunt,” accusing her of squandering taxpayer money to fuel a personal vendetta. The reduced fine did little to quiet his supporters, who see her actions as emblematic of a weaponized legal system. For them, the town hall disruption was a rare moment of pushback against a narrative dominated by James’ allies. Her refusal to address the man’s question only deepened their distrust.
Now, the tables are turning. The Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into James, a development that has sent shockwaves through her camp. The probe stems from a criminal referral by William Pulte, the Trump administration’s Federal Housing Finance Agency Director.
Pulte alleges James misrepresented a Virginia single-family home as her primary residence to secure better loan terms, a tactic she’s also accused of using with a multifamily Brooklyn property. The accusations paint her as a hypocrite, leveraging the same kind of financial maneuvering she condemned in Trump.
The irony is not lost on observers. James’ dogged pursuit of Trump, spanning years and costing millions, has invited scrutiny of her own conduct. Her critics argue she opened the door to this investigation by overplaying her hand. The DOJ’s involvement suggests her actions may have consequences beyond political posturing, as the allegations against her grow more serious. For many, it’s a case of reaping what she sowed.
...
For a person who actually lives and is employed in New York to claim a home in Virginia as her homestead does look like a form of fraud to get better terms on the loan. I do suspect her cases against Trump were motivated by politics. I have not been able to find her answer to the man's question. If she failed to answer, that is telling.
