Trump Housing Chief Refers New Criminal Probe for AG Letitia James

politicsMar 25, 2026

Federal housing director Bill Pulte issued two criminal referrals asking prosecutors to investigate New York Attorney General Letitia James. The referrals allege insurance fraud tied to James's home insurance and mortgage disclosures. The move follows earlier prosecution efforts that collapsed in court and failed to win grand jury support. The referral politicizes federal resources and risks distracting the administration from core housing priorities.
