When Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James was criminally indicted in Virginia for alleged mortgage fraud in October, she vehemently proclaimed her innocence and moved to have the charges against her dismissed on the grounds of "selective" and "vindictive" prosecution by President Donald Trump's administration.

Unfortunately for James, interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan just revealed the damning evidence of guilt in a court filing on Thursday, according to the Washington Examiner.

The filing showed that James made false statements under oath on multiple official forms as part of an overall scheme to fraudulently obtain better terms on a loan to purchase a residential property in Virginia than she would otherwise have received.

James lied about the purpose of the property

In a bombshell 32-page court filing on Thursday, interim U.S. Attorney Halligan, who was appointed in September by President Trump to lead the Eastern District of Virginia, hit back against New York AG James' dubious claims of innocence and desperate attempt to get the charges dismissed because of the president's justifiable animosity towards her over the prior persecution of his namesake business and real estate empire.

One of the featured exhibits in that filing was an "Affidavit of Occupancy" that James signed under oath in August 2020 for the home she purchased on Peronne Avenue in Norfolk, Virginia.

On that form, James checked the box for "second home" to describe the property, which means that she would "occupy the property as a second home (vacation, etc.) while maintaining a principal residence elsewhere."

That was never truly the case, though, as Halligan explained that James never occupied the Peronne property, and instead treated it as an "investment property" that she rented out to a niece and her children.

False statements to the bank, the IRS, and the insurance company

That was not the only apparent false statement made by James about the Peronne property in Virginia, however, as Halligan's filing on Thursday also exposed the New York attorney general for having allegedly "signed and submitted several home-loan application documents with false information, other official filings show Defendant knew it, and Defendant financially gained from the misrepresentations."

The filing claimed that James falsely declared the Peronne property to be a "second home" instead of an "investment property" on two separate loan applications, as well as a "second home rider" to the application -- which earned her a lower mortgage rate than she'd otherwise qualify for -- in which she attested that she would reside at least part-time in the residence that was actually rented out to a family member.

Further, in one home insurance application, James again falsely claimed that she would reside at the Peronne property for a certain number of months each year, which she never did, while on a second insurance form, she falsely claimed the property would be occupied by just one adult, when in reality it was occupied by one adult with three children.

Making matters even worse, and seemingly proving her fraudulent intent, the filing showed that James conversely listed the Peronne property as an "investment property" on her income tax filings for several years, which allowed her to claim a certain deduction, as well as on New York's financial disclosure form for public officials.

"No one’s above the law, Tish"

Conservative attorney Mike Davis, a former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, took stock of Halligan's filing against James, and wrote in an X post, "The exhibits are damning, and showed that she lied to the lending bank, the IRS, and her homeowners’ insurer."

He further pointed to the evidence shared by Halligan as being unmistakable examples of "clear fraud" that were knowingly committed by James.

As for James' rebuttal that Halligan's prosecution was "selective," "vindictive," without merit, and unworthy of the court's time and resources, Davis added, "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."
