Special Prosecutor Ed Martin has publicly challenged New York Attorney General Letitia James, calling for her resignation amid allegations of mortgage fraud. This statement follows a letter leak from her attorney, Abbe Lowell, who is connected to high-profile cases, including that of Hunter Biden. Martin, appointed by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate James and Democrat Senator Adam Schiff, said James should step down for the good of “the state and nation.”
In his letter, Martin stated, “Her resignation from office would give the people of New York and America more peace than proceeding. I would take this as an act of good faith.” This direct appeal highlights the seriousness of the investigation and the growing pressure on James.
James has faced scrutiny for allegedly falsifying records to secure more favorable home loans. Specifically, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has accused her of misrepresenting a five-unit property in Brooklyn as a four-unit one to obtain better loan terms. This discrepancy is significant; it allowed James to save tens of thousands of dollars annually through loans, including a 2011 Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) loan.
The allegations are serious. Martin’s investigation into James follows a long-standing report from The Gateway Pundit, which has detailed various aspects of her purported mortgage fraud. These reports claim she misled the bank regarding the unit count of her property and raised concerns about her campaign finance practices.
As the inquiry intensifies, Martin was seen inspecting James’ Brooklyn home recently, suggesting he is actively pursuing evidence amid reports of a grand jury considering a criminal indictment. Neighbors have even confronted him at the location, reflecting the community’s growing interest in this prominent case.
With Ed Martin’s investigation potentially revealing serious misconduct, the stakes are high for James. The outcome of this situation could have implications not only for her political career but also for public trust in the New York Attorney General’s office.
