🚨BREAKING: Last night, US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan revealed a ton of new evidence relating to Letitia James’s alleged mortgage fraud.
The exhibits are damning, and showed that she lied to the lending bank, the IRS, and her homeowners’ insurer.
Exhibit 4 in Halligan’s filing is Letitia James’s Affidavit of Occupancy, where she swore under oath that she would be using the Norfolk, Virginia property she bought as a second home.
This was false – she did not live in the property.
In her homeowner’s insurance application, James claimed that the Norfolk house was unoccupied five months out of the year.
This was false.
The house was occupied year-round by her niece.
In another insurance application, James claimed that the Norfolk house was occupied by a single adult, with no children.
She knew that the house was actually occupied by four people – her niece, and three children.
James knew all these claims were false when she made them.
In the tweet above, James claimed to have moved into the property in October 2020.
But in September 2020, James’ niece – who James was collecting rent from – registered utilities in the niece’s name.
She also claimed the property as an investment property on her taxes, after having claimed it as a second home on her mortgage application.
Clear fraud.
Lindsey Halligan’s prosecution of Letitia James is a righteous, garden-variety mortgage fraud prosecution.
As her filing shows, prosecutions are routinely brought in the Eastern District of Virginia for fraud over similar amounts of cash.
No one’s above the law, Tish.
