New York, NY – Today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik issued the following statement in response the FBI and U.S. Attorney's investigation into
Letitia James for alleged mortgage fraud:
"I commend the FBI and the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New
York for investigating New York Attorney General Letitia James over
mortgage fraud. Nobody is above the law. These serious
allegations—falsifying records to secure favorable loan terms on
properties in Virginia and New York—threaten public trust in our
institutions. The hypocrisy is staggering: Tish James allegedly committed
the same crime that she falsely and illegally prosecuted President Donald
Trump for.
For years, I’ve led the charge against Tish James' political weaponization
and abuse of her office to target Trump and other political opponents illegally. In February 2024, I filed a bar complaint with the New York
State Committee on Professional Standards, detailing how she violated
ethical rules during her biased investigation and prosecution of Trump, including over 50 prejudicial social media posts in just the first five
weeks of his civil fraud trial. Her weaponized lawfare campaign, which
began the moment she announced her candidacy for Attorney General,
undermined the impartiality expected of New York’s top prosecutor.
Tish James' actions embody the corruption among NY elected Democrats led
by Kathy Hochul. I recently exposed how Governor Kathy Hochul and Albany Democrats secretly inserted language into the state budget to cover James’ legal expenses with taxpayer money. This abuse of power is an insult to
New Yorkers already struggling with high taxes.
The investigation into Letitia James is a vital step toward justice. I
will continue to fight to expose NY corruption, protect constitutional
rights, and hold these failed Democrat leaders in NY accountable.”
