NY attorney general Letitia James pleads not guilty to bank fraud, false statements

SUMMARY

New York Attorney General Letitia James pleaded not guilty to federal charges of bank fraud and making false statements related to her Virginia property purchase. She was indicted on October 9 and accused of misusing a $109,600 loan meant for a residence, allegedly using the home as a rental investment instead. Prosecutors claim her actions yielded nearly $19,000 in benefits.

James labeled the charges as “baseless” and part of a political attack from former President Trump. Previously, she won a judgment against the Trump Organization for inflating real estate values, which Trump appealed. The story is developing.
