(Epoch Times) New York Attorney General Letitia James has been indicted by a grand jury on federal charges, according to an indictment that was unsealed on Oct. 9.

Prosecutors alleged that James falsely claimed that a home in Norfolk was her second residence, allowing her to obtain favorable loan terms. She rented the property to a family, an action prohibited by the loan terms, according to the indictment.

“The charges as alleged in this case represent intentional, criminal acts and tremendous breaches of the public’s trust.

Halligan’s office said James could face up to 30 years in prison and up to $1 million in fines for each count.

“We will fight these baseless charges aggressively,” she said, “and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights.”

Pulte, who submitted his allegations to the Department of Justice in April, accused James of falsifying bank documents and property records in an attempt to “acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms.”

He said James had said she lived in Virginia to purchase a home in Norfolk while serving as the attorney general in New York state, where she must live to stay in her position.

The letter further said James did not accurately represent a description of a Brooklyn property in order to fulfill requirements in obtaining a federal loan.

Following the issuance of Pulte’s letter, James’s office denied the allegations and accused the Trump administration of acting in a politically motivated manner.

“Attorney General James is focused every single day on protecting New Yorkers, especially as this Administration weaponizes the federal government against the rule of law and the Constitution,” a spokesperson for James’s office told The Epoch Times in April. “She will not be intimidated by bullies—no matter who they are.”

Since taking office, President Donald Trump on several occasions has said that James should be charged by the Justice Department.

In September, the president posted on Truth Social that Attorney General Pam Bondi should look into cases against former FBI Director James Comey, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and James, describing them as “guilty as hell,” while lamenting that “nothing is going to be done.”

Trump also told reporters at the White House earlier this year, “It looks to me like she’s really guilty of something, but I really don’t know.”
