Now, with the federal government under Trump’s leadership, the tables appear to have turned. These new criminal referrals raise serious legal questions—but also broader concerns about the politicization of justice, the use of federal prosecutorial power, and the boundaries between accountability and retaliation.

The Latest Criminal Referrals: What Happened?

The most recent development involves two new criminal referrals sent by Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director Bill Pulte to federal prosecutors in Florida and Illinois. These referrals ask the DOJ to investigate Letitia James for alleged insurance fraud.

According to reports, the allegations center on homeowners insurance applications connected to a property James owns in Norfolk, Virginia. Specifically, officials claim that:

  • James may have misrepresented how the property would be occupied
  • Insurance filings allegedly stated the home would be occupied by a single adult or remain partially vacant
  • In reality, it was allegedly occupied full-time by multiple individuals, including her niece and children
