New York Attorney General Letitia James responded to a letter sent by a Trump administration official referring her for prosecution over alleged mortgage fraud, saying the claims “are baseless.”

This week, Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte sent a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ) alleging that the Democratic attorney general falsified records to obtain better home mortgage rates.
