in World News The Letitia Files: Did Letitia James Illegally Hire a Nonprofit for Her 2013 Campaign?
The Letitia Files:
1. Big Development: Is Letitia James Guilty of Mortgage Fraud?
2. Mortgage Fraud Alert: Did Letitia James Marry Her Father?
Guest post by Joel Gilbert
New York Attorney General Letitia James’ multi-family apartment building in Brooklyn has begun to resemble a crime scene. Last week, I revealed two major incidences of potential mortgage fraud by James.
I detailed Letitia’s misrepresentations in her government HAMP Loan application whereby she falsified the number of apartment units in her building to obtain a loan at 2.7% on the back of the American taxpayer.
I also revealed that James once obtained a home loan by claiming she had married her father. By borrowing with her father, Robert James, as “husband and wife,” she was able to secure a home loan when she was 24 years old.
Now the spotlight is shining on what could be considered illegal campaign activity by Letitia James in 2013 when she ran for New York City Public Advocate.
The New York City Campaign Finance Board is an independent, nonpartisan agency that oversees the city’s campaign finance system.
Its main responsibilities include ensuring candidates comply with NYC’s campaign finance laws, including contribution limits, spending restrictions, and financial disclosure requirements.
Searching their records for Letitia James, it indicates her campaign hired New York Communities for Change (NYCC), a non-profit 501(c)(4) organization, to engage in political campaign activity on her behalf in September, October, and November of 2013.
