Letitia James isn’t just under DOJ investigation for mortgage fraud. Her own former top lawyer—Brian Ginsberg—just told the Supreme Court she abuses her prosecutorial power for political gain.
And that’s only the beginning.
1/ Ginsberg, former Assistant Solicitor General under James, accused her of launching “predatory lawsuits” that impose punishment while searching for a crime. He urged SCOTUS to rein in “opportunistic” attorneys general like her. This is her own senior staffer.2/ Ginsberg’s warning aligns with a mountain of evidence:
— In 2023, James declared a Virginia house her “principal residence” to get a federally backed mortgage—while still serving as NY AG.3/ For 20+ years, she misrepresented her Brooklyn brownstone as a “1-family” or “4-family” in mortgage filings—even though official records show it’s a 5-unit building. That let her qualify for easier, cheaper loans she wasn’t entitled to.
4/ The Federal Housing Finance Agency formally referred her to DOJ for mortgage fraud and perjury. They say she falsified bank documents and property records to get favorable loan terms—both in Brooklyn and Virginia.
5/ And at least two women have accused her longtime aide, Ibrahim Khan, of sexual misconduct. Instead of protecting them, James allegedly tried to silence the victims.6/ This is the same Attorney General who said,
'Everyday Americans cannot lie to a bank to get a mortgage.” Letitia James allegedly did exactly that—twice.
7/ So now we have:
✔️ A Supreme Court brief from her former top deputy
✔️ A DOJ criminal referral
✔️ Mortgage fraud across multiple properties
✔️ Tenant complaints
✔️ Sexual misconduct allegations inside her office
And still no accountability.
8/ Letitia James weaponized her office. Now her own team is calling her out, her filings are under federal scrutiny, and her public image is collapsing.9/ This isn’t partisan. It’s prosecutable.
