FHFA Director Bill Pulte files new criminal referrals against New York Attorney General Letitia James alleging insurance fraud

Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte submitted two new criminal referrals to the Justice Department alleging that New York Attorney General Letitia James committed insurance fraud by misrepresenting occupancy details for properties in Illinois and Florida on homeowners insurance applications. This follows a federal judge's dismissal of previous mortgage fraud charges against James in November due to the illegal installation of the prosecutor who led the case.
