President Donald Trump has called for the resignation of New York’s career Democrat Attorney General Letitia James after allegations of fraud against the top prosecutor emerged.
James, who attempted to derail Trump’s 2024 campaign with a phony civil “fraud” trial in New York, now appears to be the one in hot water.
The tables turned after documents connected with a house in Virginia revealed that James apparently made fraudulent statements while purchasing the property.
In a post Truth Social, Trump wrote:
“Letitia James, a totally corrupt politician, should resign from her position as New York State Attorney General, IMMEDIATELY.
“Everyone is trying to MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN, and it can never be done with this wacky crook in office.”
Trump’s social media post also included a link to a report about a house in Norfolk, Virginia.
James and Shamice Thompson-Hairston, described as a relative of the NY AG, apparently purchased the property together in August 2023.
The house is a rather unremarkable three-bedroom, one-bathroom residence built in 1947.
The women apparently secured a mortgage for just under $220,000 and purchased the house for $240,000.
The Virginia land records about the purchase include a “specific power of attorney” document authorizing Thompson-Hairston to act as James’ attorney-in-fact.
In this document, James states:
“I HEREBY DECLARE that I intend to occupy this property as my principal residence.”
The “specific power of attorney” document was signed and notarized on August 17, 2023.
The signature seems to match official New York documents signed by James.
On August 31, 2023, Thompson-Hairston signed a statement claiming that she would serve as James’s attorney-in-fact.
Another document included in the land record obligates both women to “occupy, establish, and use” the Norfolk home as their “principal residence” within 60 days.
It also asserts that they must keep it as their “principal residence” for at least one year.
If these Virginia documents are authentic, then James appears to be in a double bind.
At the time they were signed, James had already been the attorney general of New York for four years.
Funded by billionaire financier George Soros, James campaigned in 2018 on a promise of “getting” Trump on unspecified charges.
She later publicly fantasized about “suing” Trump.
Since she was elevated to executive statewide office, James is required to reside in New York.
According to New York law, once a state executive “ceas[es] to be an inhabitant of the state,” the office is considered vacant.
In October 2023, just two months after the documents were signed, James filed a civil lawsuit against Trump.
She accused the president and others affiliated with the Trump Organization of overvaluing properties to negotiate better deals with banks and insurance companies.
A jury agreed and slapped Trump with a staggering $455 million judgment.
The judgment is currently under appeal, and members of a New York appeals court already signaled support for overturning or at least reducing it.
If James’s primary residence in 2023 and 2024 was actually in Virginia, her standing as attorney general — and in the Trump case as well as others — is dubious.
Moreover, a possible motive for declaring a property to be an owner’s primary residence would be to secure a lower interest rate on a mortgage.
If James misrepresented the Virginia property as her “principal residence,” she could have committed the same type of fraud she accused the Trump organization of perpetrating.
In fact, reports have speculated that such false statements could even be considered federal wire fraud.
Such a charge carries decades in prison and fines of up to $1 million.
Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) would be in a position to file such charges if the nation’s top prosecutors are so inclined.
